INTRODUCTORY 

In  compiling"  this  Record  of  the  various  fortunes  of 
the  members  of  the  Class  during  the  past  ten  years  your 
Committee  has  endeavored  to  preserve  the  individuality  of 
each  report  as  far  as  possible  by  giving  it  in  its  original 
form.  VVe  regret  that  the  excessive  modesty  of  certain 
members  has  supplied  us  with  such  meagre  records  and 
that  we  have  not  been  able  to  live  up  to  our  ambition  of 
giving  at  least  the  address  and  some  brief  account  of  every 
living  member  of  the  Class.  We  have  labored  diligently 
towards  this  end  because  we  believe  that  every  man  in  the 
Class  feels  some  interest  in  the  career  of  every  other  man, 
even  though  the  feeling  be  nothing  more  than  curiosity  to 
learn  whether  in  ten  years  he  has  turned  out  better  or 
worse  than  an  association  with  him  of  four  years  or  less 
gave  reason  to  expect.  Does  the  history  of  the  first  ten 
years  spent  in  "the  wide,  wide  world"  by  the  Class  of 
1 88 1,  Princeton  College,  tend  to  show  that  a  college  edu- 
cation pays?  In  ten  years  more  this  question  will  begin 
to  acquire  a  practical  importance  for  those  who  were  our 
foremost  competitors  for  the  Class  Cup.

But  whatever  the  fortunes  of  her  children  there  can  be 
no  dor.bt  as  to  the  prosperity  of  our  Ahiia  Mater,  and  the 
record  of  the  changes  during  the  past  ten  years  cannot  fail 
to  be  noted  with  pride  by  every  loyal  son  of  Princeton. 

The  description  of  the  Class  Memorial  by  Prof.  Mar- 
quand  together  with  the  report  of  the  Memorial  Commit- 
tee and  the  pictures  of  the  casts,  which  by  the  courtesy  of 
the  Committee  we  are  able  to  present,  all  unite  to  assure 
us  of  a  just  pride  in  our  Memorial  and  its  substantial  value 
to  the  College.  An  account  of  the  Decennial  Reunion 
will  be  of  interest  to  all  who  were  unable  to  be  present. 

But  the  changes  of  the  years  have  brought  with  them 
loss  as  well  as  gain,  sorrow  as  well  as  rejoicing,  and  we 
mourn  the  death  of  nine  classmates  who  graduated  with  us 
ten  years  ago.  The  death  of  our  President,  beyond  ques- 
tion our  most  representative  man,  fell  like  a  blow  on 
every  member  of  the  Class  and  the  brilliant  promise  of  the 
career  of  Bruce  made  his  early  death  a  peculiar  loss. 

In  concluding  these  introductory  remarks  the  Com- 
mittee desires  to  express  again  to  the  Memorial  Committee 
appreciation  of  its  kindness  in  having  prepared  the  pic- 
tures of  the  various  pieces  and  groups  of  the  Memorial 
Collection,  and  to  Prof.  Marquand  thanks  for  the  interest- 
ing d  escription  of  the  Collection  he  has  so  kindly  pre- 
pared for  the  benefit  of  the  Class.  The  Committee  also 
desires  to  acknowledge  the  kindness  of  Messrs.  Blyden- 
burgh  and  Munn  in  furnishing  much  valuable  information 
contained  in  the  sketcji  of  the  College  during  the  past  ten 

iv 


years,  and  to  thank  several  members  of  the  Class  for  hav- 
ing honored  so  generously  the  drafts  made  upon  their 
time  in  hunting  up  the  lost  and  strayed,  stirring  upthedila- 
tory  and  obtaining  information  about  the  dumb.  As  the 
work  of  gathering  materials  for  the  Record  went  on  your 
Committee  has  grown  more  and  more  grateful  to  those  who 
sent  news  of  themselves  and  sent  that  news  promptly.

PERSONAL    HISTORY    OF    THE    CLASS 


A  LLEN,  F.  P.  "  In  the  fall  of  'Si  I  accepted  the  posi- 
tion of  Chief  Engineer  of  a  contracting  company,  but 
the  spring  following,  my  health  being  poor,  I  gave  up  the 
place  and  after  a  few  weeks  rest  started  for  Dakota  to  re- 
cuperate. On  the  way  I  picked  up  "  Dad  "  Walsh,  who 
was  then  living  in  St.  Paul,  and  we  journied  together  to 
Miles  City,  Mont.,  at  that  time  the  end  of  the  N.  P.  R.  R. 

I  will  not  attempt  to  describe  our  ludicrous  adven- 
tures, for  Walsh  might  object  as  he  has  now  settled  down 
in  life  and  become  the  dignified  and  happy  father  of  a 
young  son  and  heir.  [How  about  yourself,  Frank  ?J  Suf- 
fice it  to  say  that  we  returned  safely  to  civilization  and  I 
stopped  at  Jamestown,  Dak.,  while  "Hob  "  returned  to 
his  home  in  St.  Paul.  Soon  after  I  came  down  to  I^isbon 
and  started  the  Ransom  County  Bank,  but  sold  it  out  dur- 
ing the  following  winter  and  engaged  in  the  Real  Estate 
and  Loan  business.  Since  leaving  College  I  had  spent  all 
my  spare  time  in  studying  law,  and  about  this  time  I  was 
admitted  to  practice  in  the  District,  and  subsequently  in 
the  Supreme  Court. 

I  was  married  Sept.  i,  i8S6,  to  Miss  Minnie  L.  Taft 
at  her  home  in  Ballston  Spa.,  N.  Y.  and  on  Aug.  3,  '87, 
a  little  daughter  was  born  to  us. 


In  the  fall  of  i8S6  I  was  elected  County  Judge  of  Ran- 
som County,  but  after  serving  out  my  term  declined  a  re- 
nomination  and  formed  a  partnership  for  the  practice  of 
law  under  the  firm  name  of  Rouke  &  Allen.  Since  set- 
tling in  Lisbon  I  have  filled  the  offices  of  City  Clerk, 
Alderman,  County  Justice  of  the  Peace,  Commissioner  of 
Insanity,  County  Judge  and  County  Surveyor." 

Archer,  J.  R.  No  report.  We  have  understood 
that  he  is  still  engaged  in  mining  in  Virginia. 

Armstrong,  A.  C,  Jr.  "  1881-2  Fellow  of  Prince- 
ton College,  1882-5  student  in  Princeton  Theological 
Seminary,  1885-6  studied  at  the  University  of  Berlin, 
1886-7  Associate  Professor  of  Ecclesiastical  History  in 
Princeton  Theological  Seminary,  1887-8  Assistant  Editor 
of  the  New  Princeton  Review,  and  Instructor  in  History, 
Princeton  College,  from  1888  Professor  of  Philosophy  in 
Wesleyan  University. 

Married  in  Princeton,  Sept.  6,  1888,  Miss  Mabel  . 
Chester  Murray,  daughter  of  Rev.  Dr.  James  O.  Murray, 
Professor  of  English  Literature  in  Princeton  College  and 
Dean  of  the  Faculty.  A  son,  Andrew  Campbell  Arm- 
strong, 3rd,  was  born  June  5th,  1890;  and  died  at  Prince- 
ton April  loth,  1 89 1. 

In  June,  1889,  was  elected  member  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa 
Fraternity,  Wesleyan  Chapter.  I  have  published  a  num- 
ber of  articles  in  reviews  and  newspapers,  but  they  have 
been  mostly  forgotten  and  none  are  of  permanent  value." 

Bacot,  W.  S.  After  graduation  turned  his  atten- 
tion wholly  to  Civil  Engineering,  preparatory  to  which  he 
had  already  had  some  special  training  in  the  School  of 
Science,  as  a  special  student  under  Prof.  McMillan,  and 
agreeably  to  his  advice  made  a  special  study  of  Hydraulic 


Engineering.  Has  since  been  engaged  in  the  practice  of 
this  branch  in  connection  with  other  work  .from  1881 
down  to  the  jjresent  time,  acting  as  Assistant  and  Chief 
Engineer  in  the  construction  of  various  water-works,  tun- 
nels, etc.  Was  appointed  Chief  Engineer  of  County 
Roads,  Richmond  Co.,  N.  Y.  on  July  8th,  1890,  and  still 
holds  the  position.  Is  also  Engineer  of  Roads  in  the  vil- 
lage of  Lenox,  Mass.,  and  Asst.  Engineer  City  of  Albany 
New  Water  supply. 

Is  a  member  of  the  American  Society  of  Civil  En- 
gineers, devoted  to  his  profession,  and  doing  well  in  it. 
Still  remains  single. 

jgARRET,  C.  R.     No  report.     Opened  a  private  banking 
house  in  Louisville,  Ky.,  about  four  years  ago,  which 
failed   last   Fall.     Went  abroad  and  when  last   heard   of 
was  in  India.     Is  still  unmarried. 

Bedell,  F.  L.  "On  graduating  from  College  I  took 
up  the  study  of  the  law,  but  after  an  argument  with  Black- 
stone  of  more  than  two  years  duration,  I  became  con- 
vinced that  there  was  little  room,  especially  at  the  top, 
for  any  more  legal  lights  to  shine  in  this  community.  I 
therefore  blew  mine  out  and  accepted  the  position  of 
private  secretary  to  the  junior  partner  in  an  importing 
house  in  New  York  City.  Here  I  remained  until  January 
18S5,  when  I  resigned  to  accept  a  position  with  the  Pru- 
dential Insurance  Company,  in  which  I  became  Asst. 
Actuary,  and  afterwards  manager  of  the  Claim  Depart- 
ment, the  position  I  still  hold. 

In  January,  1886,  I  was  married  to  Miss  Matilda 
Webb,  of  Newark.  We  lost  an  infant  daughter,  and  ha\-e 
one  child   living,  a  boy  of  four,  who  is  a  loyal  friend  of 


Princeton,  and  already  has  gone  into  active  training  for 
the  Foot-ball  Team  of  1905." 

Blydenburgh,  B.  B.  "On  leaving  College  I  entered 
the  Columbia  College  Law  School  and  graduated  there  in 
1883.  The  following  year  I  was  admitted  to  the  New 
York  bar,  and  have  since  practiced  in  New  York,  having 
my  office  at  in  Broadway.     I  am  unmarried." 

Bradford,  T.  B.,  is  a  physician.  Graduated  from 
Univ.  of  Penn.  in  '84.  Spent  a  year  and  a  half  as  resi- 
dent in  the  Episcopal  Hospital  of  Philadelphia,  with  a 
year's  special  course  in  Surgery  and  Gynsecology  in  Univ. 
of  Penn.  Hospital.  Is  now  Surgeon  to  the  Delaware 
Hospital.  Was  married  Dec.  i8th,  1888,  at  Wilmington, 
Del.,  to  Miss  Helen  Rogers.  One  child,  Thomas  Budd, 
Jr.,  born  Feb.  4th,  1890. 

-  Brant,  H.  L.  Graduated  at  Columbia  College  Law 
School  in  1884.  After  serving  a  clerkship  of  four  years 
in  New  York,  opened  an  office,  and  began  the  practice  of 
the  law,  which  is  his  present  occupation.  Married  to 
Miss  Nellie  L.  Chase,  at  Newark,  N.  J.,  Nov.  26th,  1885, 
Two  children,  Clifford  Augustus,  born  Dec.  nth,  1887, 
Hazel  Chase,  June  23rd,  1890.  Has  not  been  called 
upon  to  fill  any  "position  of  honor  or  trust",  aside  from 
that  of  Pater  Familias,  and  offices  in  various  religious  and 
beneficial  organizations. 

Breckinridge,  D.  C.  "After  graduating  studied 
Law  and  practiced  the  same  for  4^  years  with  my  Father 
in  St.  Louis.  Two  years  ago  came  to  New  York,  entered 
the  partnership  of  Martin  &  Breckinridge,  and  on  the 
death  of  my  partner  having  succeeded  to  the  business,  am 
now  carrying   it  on   myself  r.nder  the  partnership  name. 


My  business  deals  with  Railway  Supplies  and  Equipment, 
Railroad  Securities,  and  the  construction  of  Railways, 
both  Steam  and  Street,  Horse  and  Electric. 

Am  still  unfortunately  single,  though  having  tried  in 
vain  to  be  otherwise — a  sad  commentary  on  the  taste  of 
the  gentler  sex.  Have  never  filled  any  position  of  honor, 
never  been  guilty  of  writing  a  book,  and  have  done  noth- 
ing to  make  my  Class  proud  of  me,  except  to  eat  a  very 
good  dinner  at  the  last  Alumni  Banquet  here." 

Brown,  S.  "My  profession  is  law  (I  am  glad  you 
did  not  ask  for  a  <:(?//fession),  and  I  am  Master  in  Chancery 
of  United  States  Circuit  Court  for  Southern  District  of 
Illinois. 

I  was  married  April  28th,  1886,  to  Miss  Kate  Logan 
Hay,  and  have  one  child,  a  boy,  Milton  Hay,  born  April 
2nd,  1 83 7." 

Adam  Todd  Bruce  died  of  fever  at  Ismailia,  Egypt, 
Feb.  9th,  1887,  in  the  twenty-eighth  year  of  his  age. 

The  year  after  graduation  he  took  a  position  in  the 
Laurenceville  School,  and  part  of  his  instruction  being  in 
Natural  History,  his  attention  was  turned  to  ijiology. 
He  was  a  member  of  the  Western  Expedition  of  '82,  and 
in  the  fall  returned  to  Princeton  as  Demonstrator  in  Com- 
parative Anatomy.  The  next  year  he  was  elected  a  Fel- 
low of  the  Johns  Hopkins  University,  and  Fellow  by 
Courtesy  in  1885.  He  took  his  degree  as  Doctor  of 
Philosophy  in  June  1886,  and  during  the  following  sum- 
mer was  appointed  Instructor  in  Osteology  and  Mam- 
malian Anatomy  in  the  University.  He  entered  on  his 
work  with  great  energy  and  enthusiasm,  but  this  fresh  re- 
sponsibility, added  to  the  labors  of  original  research, 
overtaxed  his  strength,  and  towards  the  close  of  Novem- 


ber  he  was  obliged  to  give  up  all  work  for  a  time,  and 
started  with  his  family  on  an  extended  tour  in  search  of 
rest  and  recuperation.  After  remaining  for  some  time  in 
London  he  decided  upon  a  voyage  to  Egypt  through  the 
Straits  and  made  the  trip  by  himself,  joining  his  family, 
who  had  come  by  land,  at  Alexandria,  whence  they  all 
went  to  Cairo  and  Ismailia.  At  the  latter  place  he  was 
attacked  by  fever — and  the  end  came. 

The  following  is  a  brief  account  of  a  largely  attended 
meeting  of  Bruce 's  friends  and  pupils  in  the  Biological 
Lecture  Room  of  the  Johns  Hopkins  University,  Prof, 
Martin  took  the  Chair,  and  among  other  remarks  said  : 
"Surely  no  death  is  so  sad  as  that  of  a  young  man,  who 
has  just  completed  seven  or  eight  years  of  hard  work  at 
college  and  university,  and  is  beginning  to  enjoy  the 
fruits  of  his  labors.  Such  was  the  death  which  is  the 
occasion  of  this  meeting. 

Dr.  Bruce 's  researches  as  published*  are  known  to 
most  of  you.  They  are  all  morphological  and  for  the 
most  part  connected  with  arthropod  embryology;  although 
last  Summer,  while  at  Wood's  Holl,  he  performed  and 
published  important  work  in  regard  to  the  development  of 
the  Squid.  As  regards  his  work  on  the  early  embryology 
of  Lisects,  Dr.  Brooks  told  me  that  Bruce  had  discovered 
more  than  all  previous  workers  on  the  subject  put  together. 
During  the  earlier  months  of  this  session  he  was  engaged 
in  preparing  in  common  with  Dr.  Brooks  a  monograph  on 
the  development  of  the  King  Crab. 

Though  devoted  to  morphological  work  Bruce  was 
not  narrow  in  his  sympathies  or  pursuits.  He  had  a  great 
fondness  for  English  literature,  especially  the  older  litera-

ture,  and  had  a  very  extensive  knowledge  of  it.  At  Prince- 
ton his  studies  were  largely  philosophical  while  he  was  an 
undergraduate,  and  after  coming  here  he  did  considerable 
psychological  work  under  the  direction  of  Prof.  Stanley 
Hall.  His  handsome  vigorous  frame,  his  bright  pleasant 
face,  his  manly  honest  look  made  all  who  met  him  in- 
clined at  once  to  like  him  ;  and  those  who  knew  him 
esteemed  him  more  the  more  they  knew  him.  So  that 
between  those  who  loved  him  for  himself,  and  those  who 
esteemed  him  for  his  work  and  those  who  were  his  com- 
rades in  athletics,  he  had  among  us  a  very  large  number 
of  friends,  representing  many  departments  and  many  in- 
terest in  the  University." 

Ur.  Kimball,  who  had  been  a  classmate  of  Dr.  Bruce 
at  Princeton,  then  said  a  few  words  in  regard  to  the 
esteem  in  which  Dr.  Bruce  had  there  been  held,  and  pro- 
posed the  adoption  of  the  following  preamble  and  resolu- 
tions : 

IVhcreas,  We  have  learned  with  profound  sorrow  of 
the  death  of  Dr.  Adam  T.  Bruce,  the  friend  of  all  and  the 
instructor  of  many  of  us, — and 

IVhcreas,  He  had  while  here  especially  endeared  him- 
self to  us  by  his  unfailing  kindness  and  courtesy. — be  it 

Resolved,  That,  assembled  here  today,  in  love  of  the 
memory  of  the  pleasant  companionship  which  existed  be- 
tween him  and  us  in  all  relations,  official  and  personal, 
we  hereby  express  our  grief  that  he  was  not  spared  to 
return  among  us, — and 

Resolved,  That  we  tender  to  his  immediate  friends  and 
family  our  sincere  sympathy  in  their  bereavement, — and 

Resolved,  That  a  copy  of  these  resolutions  be  for- 
warded to  the  Editor  of  the  University  Circulars,  to  the 

7 


Faculty  of  Princeton   College,  and   to  the  family  of  Dr. 
Bruce. 

The  following  gentlemen  also  spoke  of  the  high  re- 
gard and  affection  with  which  they  remembered  Dr. 
Bruce,  viz.:  Mr.  Riggs,  Prof.  Hall,  Mr.  Burton  and 
Pres.  Oilman  * 

It  was  suggested  in  a  letter  by  Dr.  Brooks,  who  at  the 
time  was  in  Nassau,  that  the  publication  of  Bruce 's  thesis 
on  "The  Germ-Layers  of  Inserts  and  Arachnids"  would 
be  the  best  testimonial  to  the  value  of  his  investigations. 
Accordingly  through  the  kindness  of  friends  in  the  Uni- 
versity, Princeton  and  elsewhere,  the  volume  appeared  in 
February  1888,  with  an  introduction  by  Dr.  Brooks. 

In  May  1887  the  Trustees  of  the  University  accepted 
from  the  hands  of  Bruce's  mother  the  sum  of  Sio,ooo  to 
be  used  in  founding  as  a  memorial  "The  Adam  T.  Bruce 
Fellowship  in  Biology". 

Butler,  C.  H.  "I  am  an  attorney  and  counsellor 
at  law  practicing  in  the  City  of  New  York,  and  member 
of  the  firm  of  Holt  &  Butler,  organized  in  1884.  I  was 
married  at  Yonkers,  N.  Y.,  November  21st,  1882  to  Miss 
Marcia  Flagg  and  have  three  children,  all  living,  viz., 
Ethan  Flagg,  born  January  4,  1884,  Marcia  Flagg,  born

Beyond  having  served  for  two  years  as  Alderman  for 
the  Third  Ward  of  the  City  of  Yonkers,  I  have  not  filled 
any  political  position.  I  have  not  written  a  book,  made 
any  important  discovery  or  done  anything  to  my  knowl- 
edge requiring  the  Class  to  erect  a  monument  to  my 
memory."

Cowan,  J.  F.  "I  came  to  Butte,  Montana,  Sep- 
tember 1 88 1  and  engaged  in  the  livery  business  for  four 
years.  I  then  bought  some  placer  mining  ground  and 
water  rights  near  Butte,  and  have  since  engaged  in  min- 
ing, and  supplying  the  mills  and  smelters  with  coal  and 
wood.  The  water  rights  became  quite  valuable  and  were 
sold  last  fall  at  a  good  advance.  I  am  a  member  of  the 
City  Council  and  have  managed  to  escape  the  penitentiary 
thus  far.  I  have  become  a  greater  "gun-crank"  even  than 
when  I  was  in  College  and  won  the  Championship  Cup  of 
Montana  last  August  in  Helena,  scoring  92  birds  out 
of  100. 

I  was  married  July  10,  1883  to  Miss  Stella  Joslin  in 
Oregon,  Mo.,  and  have  three  children,  one  boy  and  two 
girls.  They  can  all  give  "the  tiger"  and  the  boy  practices 
drop-kicks  with   his  sisters'  hat  and   keeps  everybody  in 


the  house  dodging  his    "out-curves".     So  you  see  I  am 
training  him  to  be  a  true  Princetonian." 

CoYLE,  J.  L.  "My  business  is  insurance.  Was 
formerly  for  several  years  a  pedagogue.  Am  a  widower 
at  present,  but  intend  to  marry  again  in  a  few  months.  I 
was  married  in  1885,  and  my  wife  died  in  1886.  I  have 
one  daughter.  My  wife's  maiden  name  was  Clara  B. 
Vanderhoof.    Child's  name  Clara,  born  Sept.  30,  1886. 

Am  a  Committee  on  R.  Rs.,  and  call  on  all  friends 
to  force  R.  Rs.  to  give  decent  accommodations  and  run 
trains  on  time." 

Craven,  C.  E.  "For  two  years  after  leaving  Col- 
lege I  taught  in  the  York  Collegiate  Institute,  York,  Pa., 
and  then  entered  the  Seminary  at  Princeton  in  the  Class 
of  '86.  I  was  ordained  June  15,  '86  pastor  of  the  Pres- 
byterian Church  of  Birmingham,  Pa.,  were  I  remained 
until  the  fall  of  '88,  when  I  came  to  my  present  charge, 
the  Central  Presbyterian  Church,  Downingtown,  Pa. 

I  was  married  in  York,  Pa.,  Dec.  28,  1886  to  Miss 
Anna  Schenck  McDougall  and  have  two  little  daughters, 
Virginia  Coryell,  born  Nov.  8th,  '87,  and  Sarah  Laudreth, 
born  Oct.  i8th,  '89."

Edward  F.  Crosbv  died  at  Helena,  Montana,  May  16, 
1890  in  the  thirty-second  year  of  his  age. 

Crosby  studied  law  in  Newport,  R.  I.,  and  was  ad- 
mitted to  the  Bar  there  and  afterwards  in  New  York.  He 
went  to  Helena,  Mont.,  and  entered  the  employ  of  the 
First  National  Bank.  He  also  continued  to  practice  law 
and  undertook  some  journalistic  work,  as  correspondent 
for  some  of  the  newspapers  there  and   in  New  York  ;  a 


series  of  his  letters  from  Alaska  were  extensively  copied 
throughout  the  country.  Later  he  went  into  Real  Estate 
operations.  He  enjoyed  the  confidence  of  the  community 
in  which  he  lived  and  died  leaving  many  friends. 

He  married  in  Helena  the  daughter  of  the  Right 
Rev.  I.eigh  R.  Brewer,  Episcopal  Bishop  of  Montana,  and

21,  1887,  and  Claudia,  born  July  18,  1888." 

Darden,  W.  H.  "My  profession  has  been  the  Gos- 
pel Ministry.  After  completing  my  studies  at  the  San 
Francisco  Theological  Seminary  I  took  charge  of  three 
churches  near  here, — a  Presbyterian  Home  Missionary 
circuit.  Three  years  later,  the  field  opened  up  here  at 
Petaluma,  and  we  organized  a  church,  to  which  I  was 
called  ;  and  here,  in  spite  of  the  changes  so  common  on 
this  coast  among  our  churches,  I  have  remained.  We 
have  received  150  members  into  this  church,  and  still  we 
number  only  80.  This  will  give  you  some  idea  of  the 
constant  changes  that  are  going  on  in  this  Western  world. 

I  was  married  April  16,  1884,  to  Miss  Fanny  D. 
Barlow.  We  have  two  children,  Rena  Elizabeth,  born 
Jan.  7,  1888,  and  William  Earl,  born  March  14,  1890. 
Nothing  would  give  me  greater  pleasure  than  to  attend  the 
Decennial  Reunion." 

Davis,  F.  M.  "My  history  since  leaving  Princeton 
has  been  uneventful.  I  did  not  study  a  profession,  but 
immediately  after   graduation  went    into    the   machinery 


business  in  Liberty  St.  N.  Y.  City.  There  I  remained 
for  5^  years,  where  I  entered  the  house  of  H.  G.  Craig  & 
Co.,  Commission  Merchants,  132  Nassau  St.,  N.  Y.,  with 
whom  I  still  continue,  for  it  would  be  extremely  difficult 
to  find  a  more  agreeable  position. 

Entered  into  the  married  condition  Feb.  7,  1884 
with  Miss  Augusta  M.  Stalker,  and  am  the  proud  father  of 
two  fine  boys,  Raymond  Foster,  born  April  25,  1885  and 
Charles  Moreau  Jr.,  born  April  7,  1888.  They  are  both 
bound  for  Princeton  and  will  reach  it  I  hope  in  due  time. 

Have  not  written  a  book,  nor  made  a  discovery,  ex- 
cept that  the  married  state  is  far  better  than  the  single. 
Have  occupied  several  positions  in  the  church,  in  socie- 
ties, etc.,  and  even  dabbled  a  little  in  politics,  but  have 
gained  no  reputation  outside  of  the  tov/n  in  which  I  reside 
and  not  very  much  in  it." 

Davis,  W.  C.  "I  left  Princeton  College  in  June, 
1879.  In  the  fall  of  that  year  I  entered  the  law  office  of 
Hon.  Andrew  Reed,  at  Levvistown,  Pa.,  as  a  student,  and 
was  admitted  to  practice  in  the  courts  of  Pennsylvania  in 
August,  1 88 1.  I  then  removed  to  New  York  City, — and 
served  a  further  apprenticeship  to  the  profession  in  the 
office  of  Walker,  Cummins  <Sc  Hall.  I  was  admitted  to 
practice  in  New  York  in  February,  1883.  I  have  lived 
and  practiced  my  profession  here  v.ithout  interruption 
ever  since." 

Dix,  Edwin  A.  Has  lived  in  Newark,  N.  J.,  since 
graduation,  and  practiced  law  there  and  in  New  York. 
Has  spent  several  sunimers  abroad.  In  1SS9  v/rote  "A  Mid- 
summer Drive  through  the  Pyrenees",  publislied  by  Putnam 
in  1890.     Is  not  marritrd  nor  engaged. 


Dix  in  his  year  stood  first  of  the  five  candidates  for 
admission  to  the  New  York  Bar  who  received  honorary 
mention  on  account  of  their  examinations.  A  correspon- 
dent of  Galigi/ani's  Messenger  writing  from  Mustapha, 
Algiers,  mentions  Mr.  Edwin  A.  Dix  among  the  partici- 
pants in  a  German  recently  given  at  the  Hotel  St.  George 
in  that  place — Eds. 

DoDD,  W.  S.  "To  give  the  history  of  ten  years  in  a 
letter — how  can  one  do  it?  And  yet,  if  you  look  forward 
to  reading  these  letters  as  eagerly  as  I  do,  every  one  of 
them  will  have  its  value  increased  a  hundred-fold,  for  I 
cannot  expect  to  be  present  at  the  Decennial  Reunion,  or 
even  to  see  any  of  my  Classmates  for  a  long  time  to  come. 

My  first  five  years  after  leaving  Princeton  were  spent 
in  study  in  New  York,  broken  by  three  months  of  preach- 
ing in  Minnesota  in  the  summer  of  1884.  The  course 
was  a  combined  one  in  Medicine  and  Theology,  and  I 
graduated  from  Union  Theological  Seminary  in  1884,  and 
from  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  in  1886.  I 
was  married  almost  immediately  after,  and  sailed  with  my 
wife  from  New  York  in  July  of  that  year.  Spending 
some  time  in  Europe,  we  reached  our  home  in  Turkey  in 
November.  From  that  time  until  the  Spring  of  1890  we 
were  busy  in  our  work  there,  first  in  learning  the  Turkish 
language,  and  then  in  general  Missionary  work.  During 
the  last  year  of  that  time  I  was  able  to  devote  myself  to 
the  medical  side  of  the  work,  in  which  I  have  found  more 
and  more  pleasure  and  increasing  usefulness,  and  as  a  con- 
sequence of  that  I  am  now  here  in  Vienna. 

Desiring  to  extend  much  more  widely  the  operations 
of  our  Gospel  medical  work  and  place  it  on  a  more  secure 
basis,  we  have  jDlanned  to  establish  two  Dispensaries,  one 

13 


in  the  city  of  Cesarea,  and  one  in  the  neighboring  town 
of  Talas,  and  eventually  to  have  a  Hospital  is  one  of  these 
places.  To  prepare  for  this,  I  received  permission  from 
our  Missionary  Society  in  Boston  to  come  to  Germany  for 
a  years'  study.  Last  Summer  I  spent  in  Heidelberg,  and 
I  am  now  in  Vienna  where  I  expect  to  remain  until  next 
Sept.  My  chief  study  here  is  the  eye,  which  branch  I 
shall  have  to  make  a  specialty  in  my  practice  in  Turkey. 
Cesarea,  in  the  heart  of  Asia  Minor,  is  our  headquarters, 
but  we  do  not  confine  our  work  to  that  city.  Either  on' 
horseback  or  by  wagon,  we  travel  over  a  region  of 
country  as  large  as  New  York  State.  With  one  side  of  my 
saddle-bags  filled  with  surgical  instruments  and  a  book  or 
two,  and  the  other  with  drugs  and  a  change  of  clothing,  I 
am  sometimes  away  from  home  for  weeks  at  a  time. 

My  wife  was  Miss  Mary  L.  Carter,  of  New  York  City, 
and  we  were  married  at  her  home  June  24,  1886.  Edward 
Mills  Dodd  came  into  our  household  March  30,  1887,  and 
his  sister  Nellie  Feb.  21,  1890.  The  only  "position  of 
honor  or  trust"  that  I  have  filled  or  e^^ect  to  fill,  is  that 
of  missionary.  I  am  very  glad  of  this  chance  to  let  the 
class  hear  from  me,  knowing  that  I  shall  soon  in  return 
hear  from  them." 

DouGALL,  W.  A.  "I  am  still  teaching  in  Newark, 
N.  J.,  and  have  charge  of  a  school  of  about  900  children 
and  sixteen  teachers.  Have  not  written  any  book,  but  I 
enjoyed  reading  Ed  Dix's  very  much.  Two  years  ago  I 
with  some  other  pedagogues  made  a  three-months  trip  to 
Europe  and  visited  its  famous  cities  and  places.  We  had 
a  fine  time  and  now  look  forward  with  expectation  to  the 
time  when  we  can  go  again.  The  long  Summer  vacation 
is  one  of  the  teacher's  blessings.

Dougherty,  A.  C.  Is  a  physician,  and  graduated 
May,  1882,  at  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons,  N.  Y. — 
"one  of  the  ten"  with  prize.  Spent  eight  years  as  an  as- 
sistant at  St.  Michael's  Hospital  in  Newark,  and  left  in 
Jan.,  1890,  owing  to  increase  of  outside  practice. 

Was  School  Commissioner  in  1887  and  1888,  and  is 
Vice  President  of  Newark  Medical  Association.  Was

DuFFiELD,  H.  G.  "Since  leaving  College  I  have  not 
wandered  far  from  Princeton,  for  about  the  middle  of  Sep- 
tember after  graduation  I  went  into  the  Lumber  business 
in  Trenton,  where  I  stayed  till  Aug.  15,  1885  and  since 
then  I  have  been  in  Princeton  as  "Assistant  to  the 
Treasurer  of  the  College  of  New  Jersey".  I  might  add 
that  in  the  spring  of  '86  I  found  time  to  "take  a  course"  in 
Roman  Law  and  play  on  the  Nine,  and  succeeded  in  sus- 
taining my  reputation  as  a  ball-player,  especially  in  the 
Yale  game,  played  at  Princeton,  when  I  made  two  "home- 
runs"  off  Stagg. 

The  position  I  now  hold  is  one  of  trust,  and  as  the 
Trustees  think  one  of  honor.  I  have  not  written  a  book 
nor  made  any  great  discovery,  except  that  under  the  sys- 
tem now  in  vogue,  it  would  be  impossible  for  anyone  to 
grow  rich  off  "Drawbacks".  lam  not  married  nor  en- 
gaged." 

Dunn,  C.  E.  "After  leaving  college  I  entered  Union 
Theological  Seminary,  New  York  City,  from  which  I 
graduated  in  '84.     I  was  called  to  the  Presbyterian  church 

15 


of  Hempstead,  L.  I.,  in  the  summer  of  '84,  where  I 
ministered  till  the  fall  of  '88,  when  I  was  called  to  the 
3rd  Pres.  Church  of  Albany  N.  Y.,  by  whose  long-suffer- 
ing I  am  still  enabled  to  enroll  myself  as  an  Albanian.  I 
was  married  Aug.  14,  1884,  to  Miss  Emma  M.  Demarest, 
at  Plainfield,  N.  J.  I  have  three  children  :  William 
Parmley,  born  Aug.  14,  1885,  Allen  Shoudy,  born  May  8, 
1887,  Elizabeth  Radley,  born  Dec.  28,  1888.  I  have 
filled  no  special  "position  of  honor  or  trust",  have  won  no 
titles  and  made  no  discoveries,  but  have  been  plodding 
along  the  path  of  a  glorious  mediocrity.  My  work  in  the 
ministry  has  been  a  success,  and  my  present  charge  leads 
me  to  indulge  a  pleasant  outlook." 

■gLLIS,  EDWIN  M.  "On  leaving  the  Seminary  I  was 
sent  to  Stevensville,  Mont,  by  the  Board  of  Home 
Missions,  and  have  remained  there  ever  since.  My  occu- 
pation is  that  of  a  Presbyterian  minister  and  an  editor,  hav- 
ing been  running  a  paper,  "The  Light  of  the  Valley",  over 
two  years.  I  have  organized  and  built  three  churches, 
and  re-officered  another — all  in  this  Valley —  also  organ- 
ized several  Sunday  Schools  and  the  Missoula  County  Sun- 
day School  Association,  of  which  I  have  been  Secretary 
since  its  foundation  nearly  three  years  ago.  Have  re- 
ceived into  the  church  about  115  members.

1887,  and  our  youngest  son,  Barclay  Harding,  born  Sept, 
6th  1890.  I  think  that  after  meeting  this  noble  array 
of  children  my  Classmates  will  agree  that  more  honor  and 
credit  will  rebound  to  the  Class  through  them,  than  through 
any  book  that  might  be  written  or  any  discovery  that 
might  be  made  by  the  most  brilliant  of  the  Sons  of  '81."

memory  of  our  friend  David  Haynes,  whom  my  good  for- 
tune placed  next  me  in  class  ;  and   I  shall  esteem   it  the 


greatest  honor  if  you  will  allow  my  name  to  be  added  to 
the  resolutions  the  class  will  pass  as  a  memorial  to  him." 

David  Adams  Haynes  died  of  peritonitis  in  New  York 
City,  Dec.  8th,  1890  in  the  thirty-first  year  of  his  age. 

Probably  the  death  of  no  one  of  its  members  could 
have  been  felt  more  keenly  by  the  Class.  Both  as  a  man, 
and  as  the  recognized  official  head  of  the  Class  Haynes 
was  in  a  double  sense  representative.  Socially  he  filled  a 
place  in  all  of  the  various  "sets"  into  which  a  Class 
naturally  divides,  intellectually  he  showed  more  perhaps 
than  any  other  member  the  stimulating  and  beneficial  re- 
sults of  college  training,  and  it  was  in  recognition  of  this 
fact  that  he  was  elected  to  deliver  the  Master's  Oration. 
His  character  was  a  rare  combination  of  gentleness  and 
strength,  a  high  type  of  Christian  manhood  pervaded  by 
true  religious  feeling,  yet  entirely  free  from  cant — a  char- 
acter that  won  the  respect  of  all .  Those  that  have  heard  him 
speak  of  his  Mother  may  divine  the  unseen  influence  that 
shaped  his  life. 

Haynes'  last  illness  was  a  very  brief  one — Friday, 
the  5th  he  was  at  his  office,  but  went  home  early ;  on 
Saturday  his  symptoms  became  alarming,  and  on  Sunday 
it  was  decided  that  the  trouble  was  peritonitis  and  that  an 
immediate  operation  was  necessary.  After  this  was  per- 
formed it  became  apparent  that  there  was  no  hope  and 
death  followed  at  one  o'clock  on  Monday,  the  8th. 

The  following  is  taken  from  the  New  York  Tribune, 
of  Dec.  9th,  1890  :  "He  was  born  in  June,  i860,  at 
Harrisburg,  Penn.,  and  received  his  early  education  in 
Washington,  D.  C.  He  was  graduated  from  Princeton  in 
1 88 1  with  high  honors,  and  in  1884  he  was  selected  by 
the  Faculty  of  the  College  to  deliver  the  Master's  Oration, 

20 


receiving  at  that  time  the  Master's  degree.  Having 
studied  law  at  the  Columbian  University,  Washington, 
where  he  received  his  degree  of  LL.  B.,  he  came  to 
New  York  in  1883  and  at  the  time  of  his  death  was  a  mem- 
ber of  the  law  firm  of  Morse,  Haynes  &  Wensley,  whose 
headquarters  are  in  the  Astor  Building,  No.  10  Wall  St. 

Mr.  Haynes 's  fine  oratorical  abilities  soon  brought 
him  into  prominence,  and  he  had  already  acquired  con- 
siderable reputation  both  as  an  erudite  lawyer  and  special 
pleader.  While  in  Washington  he  acted  as  superinten- 
dent of  the  Sunday-school  attached  to  the  Kendal  Memorial 
Chapel,  and  he  was  also  a  Trustee  and  Secretary  of  the 
Board  of  Bishop's  College.  In  New  York  he  served  a 
term  in  the  Excise  Board  and  was  a  member  of  the  Uni- 
versity Club  and  chairman  of  the  class  committee,  which 
next  year  will  present  Princeton  College  with  a  set  of 
plaster  casts.  He  was  unmarried  and  had  a  wide  circle  of 
friends  and  acquaintances." 

The  following  expression  of  the  sorrow  of  the  Class 
was  prepared  by  the  Committee  appointed  at  the  Decennial 
Reunion  : 

The  Class  of  1881  of  Princeton  College  at  this  its 
Decennial  Reunion  desires  to  express  its  profound  sense  of 
the  loss  which  it  has  sustained  in  the  recent  death  of  its 
President,  David  Adams  Haynes. 

As  Junior  Orator,  as  Lynde  Debater  and  as  Master's 
Orator  he  had  represented  the  Class  before  the  college 
world  with  honor  and  success.  In  his  chosen  jirofession, 
the  law,  he  had  at  the  time  of  his  death  achieved  a  dis- 
tinction which  marked  him  as  exceptionally  fitted  for  the 
highest  rewards  that  can  fall  to  eminent  ability  coupled 
with  faithful  diligence.     But  his  loss  is  felt  most  keenly  be- 


cause  of  the  place  he  hatl  won  in  the  hearts  of  his  class- 
mates. His  love  and  devotion  to  the  Class  which  de- 
lighted to  do  him  honor  were  equalled  only  by  the  deep 
affection  felt  for  him  by  all  those  whose  memories  could 
look  back  on  four  years  of  college  friendship  and  who  for 
ten  years  had  followed  his  career  with  sympathy  for  his 
struggles  and  joy  for  his  successes.

three  years  in  Princeton  Theological  Seminary,  two  at 
Ringgold,  Ga.,  preaching,  and  five  at  the  same  occupa- 
tion at  Cartersville,  Ga.,  50  miles  from  Atlanta  on  a

HuDNUT,  A.  M.  "Since  the  last  Class  Record  there 
has  been  little  change  in  my  affairs.  I  am  still  in  the 
same  business — Banking,  and  doing  fairly  well.     I  have 


not  yet  "domesticated"  any  one  of  the  "Recording 
Angels"  to  which  Robert  Louis  Stephenson  refers,  but  as  I 
have  been  spoken  for  by  the  daughter  of  one  of  our  Class-

not  married,  or  even  engaged,  and  that  sums  up  my  last

T/'IMBALL,  A.  L.  "After  graduation,  having  taken  the 
Experimental  Science  Fellowship,  I  spent  a  year  in 
Princeton  doing  graduate  work  in  physics,  and  the  follow- 
ing June  was  appointed  Fellow  in  Physics  in  Johns  Hop- 
kins University  in  Baltimore.  After  a  year  devoted  to 
special  study  I  was  appointed  Chief  Assistant  in  charge  of 
some  experiments  which  were  carried  on  under  a  special 
appropriation  made  by  the  United  States  Government  to 
fix  the  standard  of  electrical  resistance.  These  experi- 
ments were  under  the  general  direction  of  Prof.  Rowland 
of  the  Johns  Hopkins  University,  and  absorbed  nearly  all 
my  time  and  attention  for  a  year.  A  report  of  them  has 
been  prepared  and  will  doubtless  be  published  in  course  of 
time. 

In  June  1884 1  received  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Phil- 
osophy, and  was  appointed  Associate  in  Physics  in  the 
Johns  Hopkins  University.  Since  then  my  work  has 
gradually  grown,  so  that  I  have  had  charge  of  all  the 
undergraduate  work  in  Physics  and  partial  direction  of  the 
graduate  students  also.  In  1886-7  ^  large  Physical  Labor- 
atory was  built,  and  I  was  much  occupied  in  attending  to 
the  proper  execution  of  the  plans.  In  June  1888  I  was 
made  Associate  Professor  of  Physics,  and  held  this  posi- 
tion up  to  last  May  when  I  was  elected  Professor  of  Physics 
in  Amherst  College,  with  the  promise  of  a  new  Physical 
Laboratory  to  be  begun  at  once. 

I  was  married  to  Miss  I-ucilla  Scribner,  Augusth  25, 
1884,  and  we  have  had  three  children,  all  boys  : — Arthur 
Livingstone  born  February  22,  1886,  William  Scribner 
born  August  28,  1887,  and  Stanley  Fisher  born  January  6, 
1890.  The  last  little  one  died  very  suddenly  in  July  1890, 
when  only  six  months  old. 

The  only  things  I  have  published  besides  various  book 

24 


reviews  and  notices,  are  two  papers  which  appeared  in  the 
Electrical  World,  one  on  Electromagnetic  Radiation  and 
the  other  on  Electrical  Units,  and  a  little  book  in  the 
Riverside  Science  Series  treating  in  a  somewhat  popular 
manner  of  the  "Physical  Properties  of  Gases".  The  book 
has  been  favorably  reviewed,  but  judging  from  its  sale  I 
fear  that  the  rays  of  glory  which  it  may  be  destined  to 
shed  on  the  Class  will  be  very  mild  indeed." 

Kimball  modestly  omits  to  mention  that  Pres.  Gates 
of  Amherst  referred  to  him  as  "one  of  the  foremost  scien- 
tific men  of  the  country". — ^3  Eds. 

Thomas  D.  King  died  at  his  home  in  Springfield, 
Ohio,  December  23rd  1888,  at  the  age  of  twenty-nine. 

After  leaving  Princeton  he  began  the  study  of  medi- 
cine and  graduated  with  "distinguished  merit"  from  the 
Univ.  of  Pa.  in  1885.  He  was  greatly  interested  in  mis- 
sion work,  and  after  practicing  in  Springfield  for  about  a 
year,  offered  himself  as  a  Medical  Missionary  to  the  Pres. 
Board  of  Foreign  Missions.  Before  he  had  been  assigned 
to  his  field,  a  tumor  began  to  manifest  itself  in  the  cavity 
of  the  right  eye,  against  which  all  the  efforts  of  medical 
skill  were  of  no  avail.  For  the  last  two  years  of  his  life 
he  suffered  excruciating  pain,  his  strength  being  constantly 
wasted  by  the  disease. 

The  Springfield  Gazette  said  of  him  :  "In  quiet 
deeds  of  kindness  to  the  poor,  in  words  of  cheer  to  the 
despondent  and  struggling,  in  labors  to  lead  the  sinful  to 
repentance  and  salvation  *  *  *  *  he  filled  his  years 
with  usefulness  and  scattered  blessings  with  lavish  hand  at 
every  step  of  his  life."

Dress  Goods,  or  as  we  are  called  simply — Importers.  I 
am  still  single  with  poor  prospects  for  a  change  of  life. " 

Lang,  L.  J.  "Soon  after  graduation,  I  became  a 
reporter  upon  the  PhiladelpJiia  Times.  I  found  within 
six  weeks  that  I  was  growing  so  rich  in  the  Quaker  City, 
that  I  decided  to  make  a  strike  in  New  York.  For  six 
months  I  was  attached  to  the  Times  in  that  city  as  re- 
porter. Being  summoned  home  by  the  illness  of  my 
mother,  I  was  for  a  year  news  editor  of  the  Elmira  Daily 
Advertiser.  In  the  spring  of  1883,  I  returned  to  New 
York  and  became  connected  with  the  Daily  Graphic  in  a 
semi -editorial  capacity.  Not  long  after,  I  accepted  a 
place  upon  the  staff  of  the  New  York  World.  I  repre- 
sented that  journal,  in  part,  at  the  Presidential  Conven- 
tion of  1884,  and  throughout  the  campaign  was  a  gleaner 
of  political  nuggets  for  the  columns  of  that  paper.  Later  I 
became  the  Albany  correspondent  of  the  World.  In 
August,  '88,  I  went  Upon  the  staff  of  the  N.  Y.  Press,  as  a 
political  writer.  I  followed  this  line  of  work  through  the 
campaign  of  that  year,  and  in   1889  was  promoted  to  my 

26 


present    position    of  Washington    correspondent   of  that 
paper. 

Dec.  24,  1883,  I  was  married  to  Miss  Clara  Osborne 
Terhune,  of  Brooklyn.  A  son,  Frederick  I-yford,  was 
born  in  Brooklyn,  May  14,  1885,  and  a  daughter,  Clara 
Louise  Cushing,  in  Washington,  March  13,  1891." 

LoNEY,  F.  "I  followed  the  law  in  the  East,  and 
then  went  West,  where  corner  lots  have  been  receiving 
most  of  my  attention.  I  am  still  unmarried.  At  present 
I  expect  to  be  with  you  at  the  Decennial  Reunion,  and  am 
expecting  great  pleasure  from  meeting  so  many  old  friends 
of  former  years." 

LoucKS,  Z.  K.,  Jr.  "Immediately  after  leaving 
College  I  returned  to  my  home  in  York,  Pa.,  and  for 
fifteen  months  devoted  my  time  exclusively  to  the  Real 
Estate  business,  and  the  management  of  manufacturing 
industries  in  which  my  family  was  then  engaged.  Having 
determined  upon  the  law  as  my  profession  I  registered 
under  the  Hon.  John  Gibson  of  York,  and  upon  his  eleva- 
tion to  the  Judiciary  was  handed  over  to  the  tender 
mercies  of  his  uncle,  the  late  Hon.  Robert  J.  Fisher, 
under  whose  preceptorship  I  remained  for  more  than  a 
year.  I  then  decided  to  locate  in  Philadelphia  and  with 
this  end  in  view  entered  the  law  office  of  the  Hon.  George 
Junkin,  of  Presbyterian  fame,  and  continued  my  legal 
studies  under  his  direction  until  my  admission  to  the  Bar, 
Feb.  5,  1887.  Since  then  I  have  been  actively  and  in- 
dustriously engaged  in  the  prosecution  of  my  chosen  pro- 
fession. I  enjoy  a  good  clientage  and  aside  from  the 
cases  which  generally  fall  to  the  lot  of  the  practitioner,  I 
have  been  retained  in  several  important  causes  in\olving 
complex  questions  and  much  money.

I  have  neither  wife  nor  children  to  beautify  and 
adorn  my  home,  or  to  share  my  joys  and  tribulations  as  I 
am  hastening  down  the  corridor  of  time.  Moreover  I  am 
not  engaged,  so  far  as  I  know  of,  but  am  of  a  marriageable 
age,  and  at  present  matrimonial  stock  is  at  a  discount 
with  me." 

A/rC  ALPIN,  H.  M.  "The  winter  after  leaving  college 
I  attended  the  Columbia  Law  School,  and  spent  the 
following  winter  in  Athens,  Ga.,  at  the  Law  School  of  the 
University  of  Georgia.  The  next  fall  I  returned  to  Savan- 
nah, commenced  the  practice  of  law,  and  during  the  first 
year  met  with  such  success  that  my  health  began  to  fail 
from  the  mental  and  physcial  strain,  and  the  following 
summer  I  went  to  Europe  on  a  vacation  of  about  four 
months.  Upon  my  return  to  Savannah  I  was  married  in 
November  to  Miss  Claudia  Thomas  of  Athens,  Ga.,  and 
continued  to  practice  law  for  two  years  after  my  marriage. 
On  July  6th,  1887,  my  little  daughter,  Claudia  Thomas 
was  born,  and  shortly  after  I  concluded  to  break  up  my 
practice  and  cast  in  my  lot  among  the  "Athenians". 
This  change  was  accomplished  the  latter  part  of  October, 
and  on  the  6th  of  November  my  wife  died.  I  remained 
in  Athens  until  the  latter  part  of  the  next  year,  when  I 
sailed  for  Europe,  and  travelled  in  Spain,  Africa  and 
Russia,  during  which  time  I  wrote  a  number  of  articles  for 
newspapers  in  America.  In  November,  1889,  I  started 
the  practice  of  my  profession  again  in  Savannah,  and  in 
October  of  the  next  year  the  accumulation  of  private  and 
professional  work  compelled  me  to  form  a  partnership 
with  Mr.  W.  P.  La  Roche. 

I  have  partially  compiled  a  Law  Book,  which  as  yet 
has  not  seen  the  light  of  day.     I  was  a  delegate  to  the 

28 


Gubernatorial  Convention  of  1888,  but  have  kept  out  of 
politics  ever  since  and  hope  to  for  the  future." 

McCoy,  W.  I.  "In  Sept.  '79,  I  entered  the  class  of 
1882  at  Harvard  University  and  graduated  with  it  in  due 
course.  The  summer  and  fall  of  1882  I  spent  in  Europe, 
and  entered  the  Harvard  Law  School  in  Sept.  '8;^,  in  the 
class  of  1886,  with  which  class  I  graduated.  I  was  ad- 
mitted to  practice  law  in  the  courts  of  the  State  of  New 
York  Dec.  '86,  and  have  continued  in  practice  ever  since. 
I  was  married  Oct.  17,  1888,  to  Miss  Kate  Philbrick

McCuNE,  A.  "I  read  law  at  Rockville,  Ind.,  for 
one  year  after  leaving  Nassau  Hall.  The  following  year  I 
went  to  the  Ann  Arbor  Law  School,  but  did  not  graduate. 
Came  to  Minneapolis  in  March,  '8;^,  and  went  into  the 
office  of  Cross,  Hicks  &  Carleton  for  one  year.  In  Oct.  '83, 
passed  the  examination  for  admission  to  the  bar  in  this 
State,  opened  an  office  and  went  in  for  fame  alone. 
Soon  got  tired  of  trying  to  find  it  in  that  way,  and  in 
Nov.  '84,  formed  a  partnership  with  Edwin  S.  Slater,  an 
Oberlin  graduate.  We  practiced  under  the  firm  name  of 
Slater  &  McCune  till  June,  '87,  when  I  came  into  the 
office  of  Edward  M.  Johnson,  on  a  sort  of  partnership 
basis  so  far  as  the  income  of  the  office  goes.  I  was  married 
Oct.  20,  1886,  at  Lima,  New  York,  to  Miss  Clara  A. 
McNair.  We  have  two  children — Clara,  three  years  old,

the  household."

ferred on  me  by  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons, 
Sept.,  1885.  On  account  of  my  father's  illness  I  remained 
at  my  home  in  Delhi,  N.  Y.,  until  Feb.,  1886,  when  I 
returned  to  this  city.  During  the  spring  and  early  sum- 
mer I  was  in  the  employ  of  a  large  chemical  house  ;  from 
Aug.,  1886,  to  Mar.  1SS7,  ambulance  surgeon  at  Bellevue

Hospital  ;  then  to  Dec.  1887,  junior  house  physician  at 
N.  Y.  Skin  and  Caiicer  Hospital  ;  and  since  have  been  in 
private  practice  in  New  York.  Was  married  Oct.  23,  1889, 
to  Miss  Fannie  Maccabe,  in  New  York.  One  bright  son 
has  been  added  to  the  syndicate — William  George,  born 
July  29,  1890." 

Manierre,  C.  E.  "I  have  continued  in  the  prac- 
tice of  the  law  since  my  admission  to  the  Bar  in  1883. 
For  the  last  two  years  my  brother  and  I  have  had  our 
offices  together  and  jointly  have  been  enticing  the  coy 
dollar  in  our  direction.  In  1884  I  became  deeply  im- 
pressed by  the  mischief  which  results  from  the  liquor 
traffic  and  determined  to  take  a  hand  in  suppressing  the 
business.  The  next  year  I  joined  the  Prohibition  Party 
and  since  then  have  given  a  large  share  of  my  time  and 
thought  to  that  subject. 

My  vacations  have  usually  been  spent  camping  and 
fishing  in  the  Adirondack  Mountains.  When  I  lift  my 
eyes  to  the  matrimonial  heavens  so  many  brilliant  stars 
dazzle  the  sight  that  if  my  "bright  particular  star  "  is 
among  them  I  am  as  yet  unable  to  discern  her."

Monroe,  R.  G.  "I  am  practicing  law  and  have  been 
so  engaged  since  1884.  After  leaving  college  I  studied 
for  a  year  in  PhiladeljDhia  at  the  Law  School  there,  came 
to  New  York  in  the  fall  of  1882,  took  my  degree  in  the 
Columbia  Law  School  after  a  year's  study  and  then  read 
for  a  year  in  an  office  before  I  was  admitted  to  practice. 

I  am  neither  married  nor  engaged  ;  nor  have  I 
written  a  book,  made  a  discovery,  or  done  anything-  to 
make  my  Class  proud  of  me." 


Moore,  J.  L.  "My  time  since  graduation  has  been  spent 
in  teaching  and  study,  partly  in  Princeton,  partly  in  Balti- 
more at  the  Johns  Hopkins  University.  The  year  '81-2  I 
remained  in  Princeton  and  pursued  certain  graduate  courses. 
I  was  then  appointed  Tutor  of  Latin  in  the  College  and 
held  the  position  three  years.  In  1885  I  came  to  Baltimore 
and  entered  the  Johns  Hopkins  University  with  which  I 
have  remained  connected  up  to  the  present  time,  having  been 
a  Fellow  in  1887-8,  and  Instructor  in  Latin,  1886,  1888-9. 
I  received  the  degree  of  Ph.  D.  last  February,  and  have 
just  been  elected  Associate  Professor  of  Latin  in  Vassar 
College.  The  only  thing  I  have  Avritten  for  publication  is 
the  dissertation  presented  for  my  degree,  which  will  appear 
in  the  current  volume  of  the  American  Journal  of  Phil- 
ology.    I  am  engaged  to  be  married."

Newark,  N,  J.  for  one  of  the  new  Western  states. 
When  last  heard  from  he  was  with  a  party  of  prospectors 
among  the  Cascade  Mountains,  and  intended  to  return  to 
Tacoma,  Washington,  after  the  trip.  He  was  married  in 
1889. 


Orr,  F.  J.  "The  first  two  years  after  leaving  Col- 
lege I  spent  in  teaching  at  Sing  Sing,  N.  Y.  and  Oxford, 
Pa.  I  then  entered  the  United  Presbyterian  Seminary  at 
Allegheny,  Pa.,  and  graduated  in  '85  among  the  first.  I 
did  mission  work  for  two  years  in  Ohio,  Kansas,  Arkan- 
sas, Pennsylvania,  and  Iowa,  and  at  last  settled  at  Coul- 
terville,  111.,  as  pastor ;  but  health  failing  because  of 
climatic  change,  I  was  compelled  to  resign.  I  soon  began 
mission  work  again,  and  on  regaining  health  settled  as 
pastor  in  Mulberry,  Mo.,  in  January  '90.  I  also  have 
charge  of  a  mission  field  at  Amoret,  which  has  increased 
20  in  number  during  the  last  year.

E.  Dunbar  Price  died  in  New  Yorls:  City  Dec.  4,  1890 
in  his  thirty-second  year. 

The  following  details  are  gathered  from  the  "  Baltimore 
American"  of  that  date:  By  the  death  of  his  grand- 
father, Elon  Dunbar,  in  1877,  Price  inherited  an  income 
of  $15,000  a  year,  which  shortly  afterwards  was  more 
than  doubled  by  the  death  of  his  grandmother  and  sister, 
and  finally  increased  to  $42,000.  Upon  inheriting  this 
fortune  Price  launched  out  into  various  extravagances,  kept 
a  racing  stable,  and  ran  horses. 

In  1 88 1  he  married  Miss  Sarah  C.  Burton  of  Phila- 
delphia and  the  wedding  was  one  of  the  events  of  the 
social  season. 

Reid,  a.  T.  "I  am  still  an  employee  of  the  Colo- 
rado National  Bank,  of  Denver.  In  fact  this  day's  work 
completes  seven  years  of  service  here.  I  can't  honestly 
say  '  Bles.sed  be  the  tie  that  binds  '  me  to  Colorado,  as 
I  would  rather  live  in  New  York  City  than  anywhere 
else.  I  suppose  you  will  have  a  great  time  in  June.  I 
had  planned  to  attend,  but  will  fail  to  connect.  Last 
summer  I  was  called  unexpectedly  to  Boston  by  the  illness 
of  my  father,  which  resulted  fatally.  As  we  get  older 
our  enthusiasm  leaves  us  to  some  extent,  but  I  have  still 
all  my  affection  for  Princeton,  as  sundry  bets  on  her  foot-- 
ball  and  base-ball  teams  will  attest."

"D  ICKETTS,  L.  D.  "I  have  been  unfortunate  in  fail- 
ing to  meet  Classmates  in  recent  years,  and  visit- 
ing Princeton  scarcely  brings  back  recollections  unalloyed, 
for  one  is  rendered  somewhat  nervous  and  exasperated  by 
the  presence  of  a  crowd  of  strange,  beardless  boys,  who 
somehow  seem  to  have  usurped  the  rights  that  once  be- 
longed to  the  me7i  that  we  were  ten  or  fourteen  years  ago. 
I  am  by  occupation  a  Mine  Superintendent  and 
Mining  Engineer.  Since  leaving  College  I  have  been 
engaged  as  follows:  June-Sept.  '81,  Topographical  sur- 
veying in  New  York  state;  Sept.  '8i-June  'Zt,,  pursuing 
my  studies  at  the  School  of  Science  in  Princeton  and 
doing  field  work  near  Leadville,  Col.,  in  order  to  obtain  the 
degree  of  Doctor  of  Science  (D.  Sc),  which  in  due  time 
I  received  from  Princeton  ;  July  '83-March  '85,  Surveyor 
and  Mining  Engineer  for  the  Morning  and  Evening  Star 
Mines,  at  Leadville,  Col.;  March  '85-Dec.  '86,  Superinten-

RoBBiNS,  Carroll.  "I  spent  a  year  in  Princeton 
after  graduation,  as  Fellow  in  Mathematics,  and  then 
taught  Mathematics  a  year  in  a  private  school  in  Balti- 
more. In  September  1883  I  began  the  study  of  law  in 
Trenton,  N.  J.  During  the  College-year  1884-5  I  acted 
as  Tutor  of  Mathematics  at  Princeton.  The  next  winter 
I  was  a  student  in  the  Columbia  College  Law  School,  was 
admitted  to  the  Bar,  November,  1886  and  since  that  time 
have  been  practicing  law  in  Trenton.  I  have  had  a  fair 
amount  of  business  and  it  seems  to  be  on  the  increase. 

I  was  married  October  12th,  1887  to  Edna  Thomp- 
son (Oberlin  '83)  at  Urbana,  Ohio.  The  Rev.  George  L. 
Van  Alen  performed  the  ceremony,  and  I  can  recommend 
him  to  any  of  my  classmates  who  may  need  such  services 
in  the  future. 

After  careful  consideration  I  am  unable  to  think  of 
anything  that  I  have  done  to  make  my  class  feel  proud  of 
me." 

Roberts,  E.  G.  No  report.  Still  lives  in  Colum- 
bus, O.,  but  is  too  rich  to  do  much  business.  Ad  Rogers 
saw  him  three  years  ago  at  a  Princeton  Alumni  Dinner  in 
Cincinnati,  and  McDermont  testifies  to  the  fact  of  his  still 
being  alive. 

Roberts,  W.  H.  "I  have  no  report  to  make  further

"  No  report  "  under  his  name. — Eds.]  I  am  still  engaged

Robinson,  W.  A.  "Since  leaving  college  I  have 
lived  two  years  in  Germany,  six  months  at  Marietta,  O., 
two  years  and  a  half  at  Allegheny,  one  year  at  I>ewisburg, 

36 


Pa.,  and  am  now  in  my  third  year  at  South  Bethlehem, 
Pa.  (It  is  true  that  in  the  above  statement  the  sum  of  the 
parts  does  not  equal  the  whole,  but  I  am  not  writing  for  the 
special  benefit  of  our  mathematicians.)  In  Germany  I 
was  a  student  of  Classical  Philology,  chiefly  Greek;  at 
Marietta  and  Lewisburg,  I  filled  temporarily  the  Greek 
chairs  in  Marietta  College  and  Bucknell  University  ;  at 
Allegheny,  I  coached  boys  for  Princeton,  Yale  and  Har- 
vard— two  of  my  boys  graduated  this  year  from  Prince- 
ton ;  and  at  South  Bethlehem,  I  am  Professor  of  Greek  in 
Lehigh  University,  and  also  Secretary  of  the  Faculty — an 
office  which  bears  more  onus  than  honor. 

I  was  married  in  Brooklyn,  November  26,  1888  to 
Miss  Anna  Green  MacLaren.  A  Princeton  Trustee  as- 
sisted in  the  ceremony,  my  best  man  was  from  '86  and  my 
ushers  included  four  '81  men  and  one  each  from  '?>i,  '86, 
'90,  and  '91.  I  have  no  candidate  for  future  foot-ball — 
or  classical — honors  at  Princeton,  but  Miss  Elizabeth  Mac- 
Laren Robinson,  born  February  8,  1890,  will  be  taught 
to  look  upon  the  Orange  and  Black  as  her  own  colors." 

Robinson,  W.  F.  "After  leaving  college,  I  entered 
the  Albany  Medical  College  at  Albany,  N.  Y.  graduating  in 
1884.  I  practiced  medicine  in  Albany,  being  associated 
with  my  brother-in-law.  Dr.  J.  S.  Delavan,  and  at  his 
death  continued  practice  alone  until  June  '87,  when  I 
went  to  Europe  in  order  to  study  a  specialty.  It  seemed 
clear  to  me  that  the  future  of  medicine  lay  in  specialism 
and  I  chose  for  my  own,  the  subject  of  nervous  diseases, 
for  which  I  had  always  had  a  special  fondness.  I  pursued 
the  study  of  my  specialty  in  all  the  principal  clinics  of 
Europe,  finding  unusual  advantages  in  Vienna  where  I 
obtained  the  position  of  Voluntary  Assistant  in  the  two 

37 


large  nervous  Clinics  and  also  in  the  Clinic  for  the  In- 
sane. I  became  much  interested  in  the  subject  of  hypnot- 
ism and  saw  all  that  was  done  in  this  curious  science,  both 
at  Paris  and  at  Nancy.  I  am  convinced  that  there  is  a 
great  deal  in  it,  but  there  is  no  probability  of  its  ever 
coming  into  use  for  therapeutic  purposes,  on  account  of 
the  uncertainty  of  its  action,  the  attendant  dangers  and 
numerous  other  reasons.  It  will  probably  always  remain 
what  it  now  is — a  scientific  curiosity. 

When  I  returned  home  in  August  1890,  I  spent  a 
short  time  in  visiting  and  in  October  of  the  same  year  I 
reopened  my  office  in  Albany  for  the  practice  of  my 
specialty  which  is  my  occupation  at  the  present  time.  I 
am  neither  married  nor  engaged." 

RoDGERS,  A  S.  "The  year  after  graduation  I  taught 
in  the  Miami  Classical  School,  near  Cincinnati.  In  the 
fall  "of  '82  I  began  the  study  of  law  at  my  home,  and 
finishing  my  studies  at  the  Law  School  of  Cincinnati,  was 
admitted  to  the  Bar  in  the  spring  of  '85.  Since  then,  as 
is  the  case  with  most  young  lawyers,  my  occupation  and 
business  has  been  more  or  less.  The  only  positions  of 
honor  and  trust  that  I  have  filled  are  those  of  Judge  of 
Elections  in  my  ward,  and  god-father  to  MacDermont's  boy 
— a  twin.  I  have  written  no  books,  made  no  discoveries 
and  the  only  reason  I  can  give  why  my  Class  should  be 
proud  of  me  is  that  in  my  profession  I  have  charged  all 
that  the  traffic  would  bear,  and  have  paid  my  honest  debts. 
I  am  still  unmarried  and  prospects  are  nil.'" 

RoSEBERRY,  F.  M.  "Immediately  after  my  gradua- 
tion from  College,  I  studied  law  in  my  brother's  office  in 
Belvidere,  N.  J.,  until  November,  when  I  cast  in  my  lot 
with   the  West   and  entered   the   Law  Department  of  the 

38 


University  of  Iowa,  from  which  I  graduated  in  '8;^.  On 
my  return  to  Iowa  after  a  visit  to  my  former  home  in  New 
Jersey,  I  opened  a  law  office  in  Lemars,  Plymouth  Co., 
Iowa,  where  I  have  practiced  my  chosen  profession  and 
where  I  expect  to  reside  in  the  future. 

In  September,  1885  I  married  Miss  Delia  M.  Page 
and  we  have  one  child,  a  boy,  Clarence  Depue,  now  four 
years  old.  The  world  has  dealt  kindly  with  me  and  mine  ; 
I  am  doing  well,  enjoying  good  health,  and  would  be 
pleased  to  meet  any  of  my  Classmates  at  my  home.  I 
have  not  seen  more  than  four  or  five  members  of  '81  since 
the  day  we  graduated." 

Adrian  Scharff  died  at  Nashville,  Tenn.,  Nov.  2, 
1890,  aged  30  years. 

"  When  his  father  lay  dying  he  called  to  his  bedside 
his  oldest  son,  Adrian,  then  scarcely  nine  years  old,  and 
gave  him  a  charge  concerning  the  entire  family.  He  was 
to  care  for  and  comfort  his  mother,  and  be  an  example 
and  a  father  to  his  younger  brothers  and  sisters.  Into  this 
inheritance  of  care  and  responsibility  he  entered  manfully, 
and  while  life  lasted  his  first  anxiety  seemed  to  be  to  fulfil 
to  the  uttermost  this  trust. 

He  graduated  from  Columbia  Law  School  in  1884, 
and  practiced  in  the  local  courts  of  Newark,  until  in  1888 
he  became  examiner  of  claims  and  auditor  for  the  Fidelity 
and  Casualty  Insurance  Co.  of  New  York.  He  was  em- 
ployed as  their  attorney,  with  large  responsibility,  until 
the  time  of  his  death  at  Nashville,  Tenn.,  where  he  had 
opened  an  office  for  the  company,  with  the  intention  of 
making  his  home  in  that  city. 

He  was  active  in  church  work,  particularly  among 
the  young.     While  working  in  this  direction  he  organized 

39 


a  Lend-a-Hand  Club,  met  with  the  boys  evenings,  taught 
them  how  to  carry  on  their  club  meetings  profitably,  enter- 
tained them  in  his  home.  Their  lives  to-day  are  showing 
how  truly  they  prized  his  example  and  his  lessons  in  manly 
living." 

CCHMIDT,  G.  S.  "I  spent  two  years  in  Philadelphia 
reading  law  in  the  office  of  Atty-Genl.  Brewster,  and 
attending  lectures  in  the  Law  Department  of  the  Univ.  of 
Pa.  I  was  admitted  to  the  Bar  in  June  1884  and  have 
been  practicing  ever  since.  About  two  years  ago  I  pur- 
chased a  half  interest  in  a  manufacturing  plant  having  for 
its  object  the  heating  of  houses  with  steam  or  hot  water, 
and  also  the  manufacture  and  sale  of  Boilers,  Radiators, 
etc.,  which  business  is  carried  on  concurrently  with  my 
practice  of  the  law.  I  have  also  been  somewhat  interested 
in  politics,  and  for  the  past  five  years  have  been  Chairman 
of  the  Republican  County  Committee,  and  represented 
the  19th  Cong.  Dist.  of  this  State  as  Delegate  to  the  Re- 
publican National  Convention  of  1888.  I  have  been  for 
some  time  a  Director  in  one  of  our  National  Banks,  and 
as  a  Director  in  our  Street  Railway  Co.,  keep  a  watchful 
eye  on  the  elusive  nickel  as  it  disappears  in  the  slot.  I 
am  contemplating  the  matrimonial  step  shortly  after  our 
Reunion  in  June."

taught  the  classics  at  the  Sedgwick  Institute,  Gt.  Barring- 
ton,  Mass.,  for  three  years.  In  the  fall  of  1885,  I  en- 
tered the  Johns  Hopkins  Univ.  as  a  graduate  student,  and 
for  three  years  pursued  courses  in  Greek,  Latin,  Sanskrit 
and  other  subjects.  In  July,  1888,  I  went  abroad,  and 
put  in  six  months'  study  at  Gottingen,  with  some  travel 
before  and  after.  I  came  home  and  spent  the  following 
year  teaching  Latin  at  Lake  Forest,  111.  Last  summer  I 
accepted  a  call  to  the  chair  of  Greek  in  the  Western 
University  of  Pa.,  at  Allegheny,  and  occupy  that  position 
at  present.     I  am  engaged  to  be  married." 

Selheimer,  H.  C.  "The  first  year  after  leaving 
college  I  passed  at  my  old  home,  after  which  I  went  to 
Philadelphia  and  read  law  in  the  ofiice  of  Rufus  E.  Shap- 
ley,  Esq.     I  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  Philadelphia  May 

41 


3d,  1884.  In  May,  1885,  I  came  to  Birmingham,  Ala., 
where  I  first  entered  upon  the  practice  of  my  profession, 
and  where  I  have  since  resided.  After  considerable  strug- 
gle I  have  met  with  fair  success,  and  am  permanently 
located.  I  am  still  single  and  without  any  present  inten- 
tion of  changing  this  state  of  supposed  blessedness.  It 
would  give  me  unbounded  pleasure  to  be  present  at  the 
Decennial  Reunion,  and  you  may  be  sure  I  shall  make  an 
effort  to  be  there." 

Robert  R.  Shellabarger  died  of  typhoid  fever  in 
Washington  D.  C.  January  10,  1889  in  the  thirtieth  year 
of  his  age. 

He  was  a  member  of  the  bar  of  the  District  of  Colum- 
bia and  junior  member  of  the  firm  of  Shellabarger  & 
Wilson,  in  which  his  father  was  the  senior  partner.  He 
was  regarded  as  a  young  lawyer  of  exceptional  brilliancy 
and  promise.  He  was  married  June  17,  1886  to  Miss 
Sara  and  was  the  father  of  two  children — Mil- 
dred, born  March  12,  died  July  13,  1887  and  Sanmel 
Shellabarger  Jr.,  born  May  18,  1888. 

Sinclair,  G.  M.  "In  my  case  the  bald  facts  will,  I 
think,  suffice,  saving  the  valuable  space  of  the  Record  for 
those  who  can  spin  more  thrilling  yarns.  After  taking 
my  degree  of  M.  E.,  I  spent  three  years  in  the  practice  of 
that  profession  at  the  Midvale  Steel  Works  in  Philadelphia. 
I  then  went  abroad  for  over  a  year  to  regain  my  somewhat 
impaired  health.  On  my  return  I  spent  two  years  in  the 
Ordnance  Works  of  the  Bethlehem  Iron  Co.  Am  now 
back  at  Midvale.  Have  not  startled  the  world  by  any 
wonderful  inventions  or  marvellous  piece  of  engineering, 
nor  have  I  startled  my  friends  by  getting  married,  or  even 
engaged . ' '

TiTSWORTH,  C.  G.  "I  regret  that  this  sketch  of  my 
life  cannot  be  either  eventful  or  brilliant  :  it  must  be 
a  plain  statement  or  else  untrue. 

After  graduation  I  served  my  time  as  a  law  student  in 
my  father's  office,  graduated  from  Columbia  College  Law 
School  and  was  admitted  to  the  New  Jersey  bar  in  1884. 
I  at  once  entered  into  a  partnership  with  my  father,  which 
continued  till  his  death  in  1886.  In  1888  I  formed  a 
partnership  with  Edward  M.  Colie,  and  our  practice  im- 
proved rapidly  in  size  and  character;  but  the  following 
year  my  health  suddenly  broke  down  and  after  a  summer 
in  the  Adirondacks  I  came  to  Denver,  Col.  in  November, 
1S89.  I  spent  ten  months  here  making  a  short  trip  to 
California  meanwhile,  and  grew  very  robust  again.  The 
climate,  the  rapid  and  substantial  growth  of  this  city,  the 
energy  of  its  citizens  and  the  remarkable  development  of 
the  whole  state  and  region  seemed  to  agree  with,  and 
charm  me.  I  returned  to  my  old  home  in  Newark,  N.  J., 
closed  up  my  business,  and  returned  to  Denver  as  my  new 
home.  I  have  been  admitted  to  the  bar  of  Colorado,  am 
practicing  law  in  Denver,  and  giving  special  attention  to 
the  placing  of  loans  for  Eastern  clients  and   others  upon

no  prospects  towards  that  delightful  state."

immediately  and  remained  a  student  in  the  University  of

VooRHEES,  J.  S.  "Graduated  from  Andover  Theo-

gational Church  of  that  city,  and  built  a  beautiful  church 
building.  Returned  to  Andover  Sem.  in  Sept.  1885,  and 
began  the  advanced  course.  In  Oct.  1886,  I  entered  upon 
three  months  of  pioneer  missionary  work  in  the  interior  of 
Arizona  territory.  Then  preached  eight  months  in  Fresno, 
California.     At  an  invitation  from  the  State  Committee  of 


47 


the  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  I  visited  the  colleges  and  leading 
academies  of  the  State  in  the  interest  of  religious  work. 
Served  as  State  Secretary  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  for  one  year 
from  Nov.  ist,  1887.  While  preaching  in  San  Francisco 
was  summoned,  in  Feb.  '89,  to  New  Jersey  to  the  death- 
bed of  my  father.  Returning,  was  attracted,  while  stop- 
ping in  Colorado,  by  a  more  needy  field,  and  settled  in 
Telluride,  a  mining  camp  in  the  Rockies  8,600  feet  above 
sea  level.  Here  was  a  population  of  1,500,  and  no  religi- 
ous services  of  any  character  within  45  miles.  In  two 
months  I  organized  a  church  of  23  members  representing 
seven  denominations.  Was  married  July  12,  '89,  to  Miss 
Grace  Scrafford,  just  graduated  from  the  Monroe  College 
of  Oratory  in  Boston.  Ruth  Voorhees  was  born  April  12, 
1890.  She  is  the  first  baby  of  Mrs.  Voorhees'  class,  and 
has  been  remembered  accordingly.  In  July,  '90,  we  went 
to  Denver.  Here  Attorney  Charles  Titsworth  came  to

principal  stockholder.  I  have  been  in  Toronto  for  four 
years,  although  I  still  retain  my  legal  residence  in  Mont- 
clair,  N.  J.,  for  voting  purposes.  Since  leaving  college, 
I  have  devoted  myself  assiduously  to  hard  work — in  a  way 
that  would  have  astonished  "Sissy"  Orris,  who  was  once 
good  enough  to  chill  my  soul  with  baneful  predictions  of 
an  inevitably  disgraceful  future,  unless  I  mended  my  ways 
in  his  blessed  (ireek.  I  am  carefully  training  up  a  young 
Warren,  whom  no  doubt  some  future  Princeton  class  will 
know,  and  possibly  his  tv/o  sisters  as  well.  From  which 
you  may  safely  infer  that  I  am  no  bachelor  ;  but  as  for 
attempting  to  give  any  dates  of  ceremonials,  anniversaries, 
etc.,  the  treachery  of  my  memory  forbids.  In  personal 
appearance,  the  only  distinguished  and  distinguishing 
feature  to  which  I  can  lay  claim,  is  the  top  of  my  head." 

Warren,  T.  D.  "I  continue  to  reside  in  the  rural

My  admission  to  the  bar  would  have  to  be  prefaced  by  a 
change  in  my  manner  of  life  and  habits  of  study.  Have 
during  the  past  two  or  three  years  assisted  in  the  settlement 
of  a  few  estates,  thereby  acquiring  a  moderate  amount  of 
experience  and  about  the  same  amount  of  money.  Have 
been  a  Justice  of  the  Peace  since  Feb.,  1SS5,  and  am  the 
first  Postmaster  of  the  only  known  Spinnerville  on  earth, 
which  was  established — the  P.  O.,  not  the  earth — in  Sept., 
1889,  by  the  joint  exertions  and  influence  of  Gen.  J.  S. 
Clarkson,  of  Iowa,  and  myself.  These  positions,  while  of 
honor,  are  not  wholly  of  trust,  as  I  have  to  give  bonds, 
and  I  cordially  request  my  class  not  to  become  proud  of 
me  on  account  of  them.  I  have  neglected  to  become 
married  or  engaged  but  shall  endeavor  not  to  do  so  again. "

Thorn  wants  to  know  where  Spinnerville  is  anyhow,  and 
what  T.  D.  W.  is  doing  there,  and  "Pop"  Robinson, 
although  living  in  Albany,  is  also  ignorant  of  its  where- 
abouts, but  has  no  doubt  that  T.  D.  W.  is  the  biggest  man 
in  it.  Roseberry  concludes  as  follows  :  "Dear  Tom,  I 
have  been  thinking  who  you  are,  and  now  I  believe  you 
are  the  red-headed  man  of  the  class,  who  used  glasses, 
roomed  in  West  and  cracked  delicious  jokes.  If  so,  I  wish 
you  happiness  and  prosperity."  [Dead  shot,  that  Rose-

Jainies  Augustus  Webb,  Jr.  died  at  his  home  in  Madi- 
son, N.  J.,  April  6th,  1887,  in  the  twenty-eight  year  of 
his  age. 

Shortly  after  graduation,  in  the  Summer  of  1881,  he 
entered  into  partnership  with  his  father,  James  A.  Webb, 
at  165  Pearl  St.,  N.  Y.  City,  and  until  the  time  immedi- 
ately preceding  his  decease  held  an  important  position  in 
the  firm,  and  commended  himself  to  his  associates  in  busi- 
ness as  a  man  of  executive  ability  and  comprehensive 
ideas. 

On  December  2nd,  1885,  he  was  married  to  Miss 
Nellie  Sanford  Packard  at  Springfield,  Mass.  Shortly 
after,  at  a  time  when  his  career  was  blossoming  with  prom- 
ise of  eminence  in  the  business  world,  his  health  became 
impaired  and  he  spent  some  months  in  the  region  of  the 
Adirondacks,  in  a  vain  effort  to  regain  his  wonted  vitality 
and  vigor. 

During  his  enforced  retirement  from  active  business 
life  in  search  of  health  his  conduct  was  marked  by  an 
abnegation  of  self  and  thoughtfulness  of  others  which  could 
spring  only  from  sterling  manhood  and  Christian   conse- 

50 


cration,  coupled  with  the  rarest  fortitude  and  patience  in 
suffering.  To  perpetuate  his  memory  and  crystallize  the 
ideas  that  were  uppermost  in  his  mind  at  the  time  of  his 
decease,  his  father  has  erected  at  Madison,  N.  J.  a  Memo- 
rial Chapel,  which  by  its  artistic  finish  and  simple  grand- 
eur will  continue  to  recall  a  life  marked  by  like  qualities, 
and  at  the  same  time  furnish  a  mete  opportunity  for  wor- 
ship and  devotion. 

Henry  Boardman  Welles  died  very  suddenly  of 
hemmorrhage  of  the  lungs  Oct.  30,  1890,  at  Las  Cruces, 
New  Mexico. 

One  of  the  teachers  who  fitted  him  for  college  writes  : 
"I  could  not  wish  my  boys  a  better  future,  nor  with  all 
the  love  of  my  heart  picture  a  character  which  I  would 
prefer  my  darling  boys  to  resemble  in  their  youth  and  early 
manhood  than  Henry  Welles,  as  I  knew  him,  and  as  I 
remember  him.  Honor,  ability,  dignity  and  versatility 
combined  are  a  strong  heritage  to  the  man  who  possesses 
them."  His  sister  writes  us:  "My  mother  being  a 
widow,  he  was  obliged  to  care  for  our  estate,  and  therefore 
did  not  enter  a  profession.  He  had  an  attack  of  pleurisy 
soon  after  leaving  college,  and  never  fully  recovered  from 
the  effects  of  that  illness.  In  the  spring  of  1887  a  lung 
trouble  was  developed,  and  we  went  in  the  summer  to 
New  Mexico,  where  he  passed  the  last  three  years  of  his 
life.  He  improved  very  much,  led  an  out-of-door  life, 
and  made  a  brave  fight  which  we  feel  might  have  been 
successful  if  the  grippe  had  not  come  last  winter  to  undo  all 
the  climate  had  done.  *  *  *  He  was  always  very 
loyal  and  affectionate  to  Old  Princeton." 

Joseph  Moss  White  died  of  pneumonia  in  Paris, 
France,  March  22d,  1888,  in  the  thirtieth  year  of  his  age.

CHANGES    IN    PRINCETON     COLLEGE    DURING    THE 
PAST    TEN    YEARS 

/COMPARATIVELY  few  of  the  Class  have  not  re-visited 
Princeton  since  graduation  and  been  struck  by  the 
changes  that  have  taken  place  on  the  College  Campus. 
But  it  is  not  possible  from  a  few  hurried  glances  while  on 
one's  way  to  the  Athletic  Grounds  to  take  in  all  the  build- 
ings that  have  sprung  up  during  the  past  decade.  Besides 
bricks  and  mortar  alone  do  not  make  a  college,  and  the 
changes  in  the  Faculty  and  the  Curriculum  are  even  more 
numerous  and  important  than  those  in  the  Grounds  and 
Buildings. 

The  modern  College  differs  from  the  mediseval 
School  in  one  noteworthy  respect,  viz.,  while  the  latter 
trained  the  mind,  the  former  includes  the  education  of  the 
body  as  well,  and  no  College  history  would  now  be  deemed 
complete  if  the  department  of  Athletics  were  omitted. 
Under  this  Dreibund  of  Campus,  Curriculum  and  Athletics 
a  brief  sketch  of  the  history  of  the  College  during  the  past 
ten  years  will  prove  interesting,  if  not  instructive,  to  a 
majority  of  the  Class. 

TheMarquand  Chapel,  the  laying  of  the  cornerstone  of 
which  was  one  of  the  events  connected  with  our  gradua- 
tion, was  dedicated  June  i8,  1882.  Among  the  interior 
decorations  which  add  a  special  interest  to  the  natural 
beauty  of  the  building,  are  the  windows  given  in  memory 

55 


of  Frederick  Marquand  '76  by  his  father,  the  marble  tablets 
in  memory  of  Prof.  Joseph  Henry  and  Prof.  Guyot,  and 
the  noble  bronze  relief  of  Dr.  McCosh  by  St.  Gaudens — 
the  decennial  gift  of  the  Class  of  '79. 

In  1882  the  23-inch  equatorial  was  mounted  in  the 
Halstead  Observatory.  In  1884  the  University  Hotel 
came  under  College  control  and  the  name  was  changed  to 
University  Hall.  The  Biological  Laboratory,  which 
stands  east  of  Dickinson  Hall  was  the  decennial  gift  of  the 
Class  of  '77.  In  1889  the  Dynamo  House,  an  addition  to 
the  School  of  Science  building,  was  erected,  as  well  as  the 
Magnetic  Observatory,  near  Washington  Street,  south  of 
McCosh  Walk  ;  both  buildings  are  devoted  to  the  uses  of 
the  new  School  of  Electrical  Engineering. 

About  the  same  time  the  central  portion  of  the  Art 
Museum  was  built,  standing  back  of  and  between  Murray 
and  Whig  Halls.  The  complete  design  includes  two  wings 
in  addition  to  the  part  now  standing.  It  contains  the 
famous  Trumbull-Prime  collection  of  pottery,  and  the  col- 
lection of  plaster  casts  presented  by  the  Class  last  Com- 
mencement. In  1890  Albert  Dod  Hall  was  erected  south 
of  Clio  Hall  and  running  in  the  same  direction  as  Edwards 
Hail. 

There  are  at  present  in  process  of  construction  on  the 
campus  the  Chemical  Laboratory  on  the  corner  of  Wash- 
ington and  Nassau  Streets,  the  two  Society  Halls,  which 
still  retain  their  old  position,  and  something  of  the  idea  of 
the  old  buildings,  and  David  Brown  Hall,  which  stands 
back  of  and  between  the  Art  Museum  and  Albert  Dod 
Hall. 

The  new  Commencement  Hall,  the  gift  of  Mrs. 
Charles  B.  Alexander,  will  be  placed  between  Reunion  and 
"the  Gym"  with  entrances  from  Nassau  Street  and  the 

56 


Campus.  The  contract  for  the  foundations  has  been 
awarded  and  the  total  cost  of  the  building  will  probably 
exceed  ^200,000.  The  subject  of  a  College  Infirmary  to 
be  named  in  honor  of  Mrs.  McCosh  aroused  great  enthu- 
siasm at  the  Alumni  Dinner  last  June  and  more  than 
^10,000  was  subscribed.  Including  buildings  already 
completed  these  structures  represent  over  $750,000  added 
to  the  material  prosperity  of  Princeton  since  President 
Patton's  inauguration  three  years  ago. 

A  very  hasty  glance  at  this  year's  College  Catalogue 
is  sufficient  to  show  the  many  and  important  changes  in 
the  Faculty,  the  Curriculum  and  the  students  since  '81 
graduated  from  College.  The  Catalogue  itself  has  grown 
from  a  thin  pamphlet  of  So  pages  to  a  considerable  volume 
of  200,  the  number  of  students  has  increased  from  488 
(with  39  Postgraduates)  to  850  (with  93  P.  Gs.),  and  the 
Faculty  from  34  to  52.  The  College  year  has  been  short- 
ened by  a  week  at  each  end,  and  divided  into  two  terms. 
The  Grading  System  of  our  College  days  has  been  replaced 
by  the  Group  System,  though  the  College  student  is  yet  to 
be  found  who  takes  any  deep  sense  of  satisfaction  in  either. 
The  Entrance  Requirements  have  been  increased  in  Greek 
by  an  extra  book  of  the  Anabasis,  and  in  Mathematics  by 
Quadratics  of  two  unknown  quantities  and  the  whole  of 
Plane  Geometry.  The  additional  Mathematics  is  also 
required  for  entering  the  School  of  Science,  as  well  as  a 
knowledge  of  the  elements  of  Physical  Geography  and 
either  French  or  German  ;  in  Latin,  five  books  of  Caesar, 
and  Cicero's  four  Orations  against  Catiline.  Some  idea  of 
the  numerous  changes  that  have  been  made  in  the  Curricu- 
lum may  be  gained  from  a  brief  statement  of  the  work  of 
the  different  years.  In  Freshman  year  all  studies  remain 
required,  but  in  the  Second  Term  Modern  Languages  and 

57 


Anatomy  replace  English  (2  hours).  In  Sophomore  year 
there  are  12  hours  a  week  of  required  work  and  a  choice  of 
two  2 -hour  elective  courses  out  of  5, — 16  hours  in  all ; 
History,  Logic  and  Chemistry  have  also  been  brought  into 
this  year.  The  Junior  year  has  8  hours  of  required  work 
and  6  of  elective  with  a  choice  from  about  25  courses  ;  and 
Senior  year  has  4  hours  required  and  10  elective  with  a 
choice  from  about  50  courses.  A  system  of  Special  Honors 
in  the  various  departments  has  also  been  introduced  into 
all  the  years.  In  the  School  of  Science  a  student  may 
take  the  degree  of  B.  S.  by  pursuing  courses  in  General 
Science,  Chemistry,  or  Biology  and  Chemistry.  A  School 
of  Electrical  Engineering  has  also  been  established. 

There  are  now  twenty  Alumni  Associations  organized. 

In  1885  the  Base  Ball,  Foot  Ball  and  Athletic  Asso- 
ciations united  to  form  the  Princeton  University  Athletic 
-Association.  This  was  done  in  order  that  the  various 
athletic  interests  of  the  College  might  be  brought  under 
a  single  management  and  conducted  in  accordance  with 
some  definite  policy.  This  Association  consists  of  two 
boards,  viz.,  the  Graduate  Advisory  Committee,  with  gen- 
eral powers  of  control,  and  the  Executive  Committee,  com- 
posed of  the  undergraduate  officers  of  the  three  sub-associa- 
tions and  the  University  Treasurer.  ' 

The  Football  record  since  '81  has  been  as  follows  : 
Yale  won  the  ChamiDionship  in  '82  and  '8;^,  in  '84  no 
Championship  was  awarded,  Princeton  won  in  '85,  no 
Championship  in  '86,  Yale  won  in  '87  and  '88,  Prince- 
ton in  '89  and  Yale  in  'go.  Since  1877,  when  the  first 
Intercollegiate  Football  Association  was  formed,  Yale  has 
won  six  Championships,  Princeton  five,  and  three  times 
none  was  awarded. 

58 


In  Base  Ball  Yale  won  the  Championship  in  '82,  '83, 
'84  and  '86,  Harvard  in  '85.  In  1887  a  triangular  league 
was  formed  between  Yale,  Harvard  and  Princeton,  and 
Yale  won  the  Championship  each  year.  Last  year  Har- 
vard withdrew  and  did  not  play  Princeton;  Yale  won  two 
out  of  four  games  with  Princeton,  the  third  game  being  a 
tie.  This  year  Harvard  played  neither  Yale  nor  Prince- 
ton, and  Princeton  won  the  series  with  Yale.  During  the 
decade  1880-90  Yale  won  8  Championships,  Harvard  i, 
and  Princeton  i  (Yale  not  playing);  Harvard  and  Prince- 
ton were  each  second  three  times,  and  tied  for  second  place 
twice  ;  Yale  and  Princeton  tied  for  second  place  once. 

In  Track  Athletics  a  very  marked  advance  has  been 
made  since  '  8 1 .  Although  no  general  Championships  have 
been  won,  good,  and  in  some  notable  instances,  brilliant 
records  have  been  attained.  The  names  of  Dohme  and 
Cary  need  only  to  be  mentioned,  and  the  performances  of 
Roddy,  Vredenburgh  and  Ramsdell  have  ranked  them 
among  the  athletes  of  the  country. 

The  general  improvement  in  every  branch  of  athletics 
has  without  doubt  been  caused  in  large  part  by  the  great 
changes  in  the  Athletic  Grounds.  In  1886  the  Grand 
Stand  was  moved.  In  '88  the  water  supply  was  introduced 
into  the  grounds  and  the  handsome  gateway  at  the  entrance 
was  erected.  In  '89  the  changes  in  the  track  were  begun 
— the  field  was  leveled,  a  new  quarter-mile  track  laid  out, 
and  a  new  diamond  made;  the  new  Grand  Stand  (700 
seats)  was  presented  by  Col.  and  Mrs.  John  McCook. 
The  new  Cage,  a  substantial  brick  building  erected  in 
place  of  the  wooden  structure  destroyed  by  a  storm  in  '86, 
is  almost  large  enough  for  a  full-sized  diamond,  and  con- 
tains a  1 6 -lap  track.  During  the  past  three  years  over 
^23,000  has  been  expended  upon  the  grounds.     A  Club 

59 


House,  where  the  Base  Ball  and  Foot  Ball  teams  may  have 
their  tables  during  the  training  season,  has  been  given  by 
Prof.  Osborne  '77,  and  is  already  in  process  of  erection. 
The  recent  sad  and  sudden  death  of  Frederick  Brokaw,  the 
captain  of  this  year's  Base  Ball  team,  who  was  drowned  on 
the  Jersey  coast  in  an  attempt  to  save  life,  has  given  form 
to  a  plan  for  a  general  athletic  field  for  the  whole  college. 
It  is  proposed  to  use  for  this  purpose  the  level  field  lying 
south  of  the  President's  house,  and  to  indicate  the  occasion 
by  a  Memorial  Gateway  with  a  commemorative  tablet.

THE    DECENNIAL    REUNION 

npHE  informal  presentation  of  the  collection  of  plaster 
casts  given  as  a  Memorial  by  the  Class  to  the  Col- 
lege took  place  in  the  Art  School  on  Monday  afternoon 
June  8th,  at  five  o'clock.  C.  A.  Munn,  Chairman  of  the 
Memorial  Committee,  read  the  following  deed  of  gift : 

To  Francis  L.  Patton,  D.  D.,  LL.  D., 

President  of  Princeton  University: 

Ten  years  have  elapsed  since  the  graduation  of  the 
Class  of  1881,  and  in  compliance  with  long  established 
custom  the  members  of  this  Class  desire  to  commemorate 
their  decennial  birthday  by  presenting  their  Alma  Maier 
with  a  gift  in  appreciation  of  the  manifold  benefits  that  she 
has  bestowed  upon  them. 

The  Class  of  188 1,  under  the  kind  direction  of  Prof. 
Allan  Marquand  of  the  Art  School,  has  formed  a  collec- 
tion of  casts  illustrating  the  history  and  development  of 
ancient  and  medieval  sculpture.  F^ach  statue  in  this  col- 
lection is  taken  from  the  original  molds  at  the  principal 
museums  in  Europe,  including  the  British  Museum,  the 
Beaux  Arts,  and  the  Trocadero,  the  National  Museum  at 
Berlin,  and  the  Louvre. 

It  is  the  hope  of  the  Class  that  this  collection  may  be 
of  use  in  developing  the  finer  sensibilities  and  the  artistic 
tastes  of  the  students  at  large,  and  that  these  specimens  of 

61 


what  is  recognized  to  be  the  most  perfect  examples  of 
form  and  beauty  devised  by  the  intellect  and  art  of  man 
during  so  many  centuries,  may  be  of  value  in  extending 
and  enlarging  the  work  of  the  Art  School  at  Princeton. 

It  is  understood  that  certain  rooms  in  the  Art  Building 
are  to  be  devoted  to  the  use  of  this  collection  which  shall 
be  known  as  "The  Class  of  1881  Collection  of  Casts". 

The  Committee,  in  behalf  of  the  Class  of  1881,  hereby 
conveys  this  collection  into  your  hands  as  President  of  this 
institution  with  the  hope  that  it  may  remain  henceforth  in 
the  safe  keeping  of  you  and  your  successors.

Committee. 

Dr.  Patton  in  response  expressed  his  appreciation  of 
the  value  and  usefulness  of  the  gift,  and  accepted  it  in 
behalf  of  the  Trustees  of  the  College.  Prof.  Marquand 
then  gave  an  account  of  the  purpose  and  scope  of  the  Col- 
lection, pointing  out  and  explaining  the  various  casts. 

A  Class  Group  was  taken  by  Rose  on  the  steps  of 
Albert  Dod  Hall. 

The  Class  Dinner  took  place  at  No.  19  Dickinson 
Street  at  eight  o'clock.  A  business  meeting  was  held  for 
the  purpose  of  electing  a  president  in  the  place  of  David 
A.  Haynes,  deceased,  and  C.  A.  Munn,  the  first  president 
of  the  Class,  was  elected  by  acclamation.     On  motion  of 

62 


C  E.  Manierre  a  committee  was  appointed  to  prepare  res- 
olutions expressing  the  sorrow  of  the  Class  at  the  death  of 
its  late  president,  D.  A.  Haynes,  and  also  to  send  a  greet- 
ing to  the  Rev.  Wm.  S.  Dodd,  M.  D.,  at  present  engaged 
in  medical  missionary  work  in  Asia  Minor.  C.  A.  Munn, 
as  Chairman  of  the  Class  Memorial  Committee,  made  the 
following  statement  in  regard  to  the  financial  condition  of 
the  Memorial  Fund  : 

"Out  of  95  members  and  ex-members  of  the  Class,  67 
have  subscribed  to  the  Fund.  The  whole  subscription 
amounted  10^4,700,  of  which  $3, 844. 94  has  been  expended. 
The  principal  item  of  expense  was  the  first  cost  of  the  casts, 
but  the  additional  charges  for  packing,  shipping,  carting 
and  repairing  breakage  during  transportation  almost  equaled 
the  original  cost.  Fortunately  there  were  no  custom  duties. 
With  the  exception  of  two  small  bills  still  outstanding,  there 
is  a  balance  after  deducting  expenses  of  $855.06. 

The  Committee  did  not  believe  it  wise  to  expend  the 
entire  amount  of  the  Fund  at  one  time,  because  of  the  great 
expense  of  transportation  and  liability  of  breakage,  in  regard 
to  which  it  was  impossible  to  form  in  advance  anything 
more  than  a  very  general  idea.  As  the  work  of  instruction, 
rendered  possible  by  the  Collection,  is  extended  in  the  Art 
School  it  will  be  found  very  desirable  to  acquire  certain 
special  works  of  art,  and  in  order  to  fill  such  gaps  and 
make  the  Collection  as  complete  as  possible  it  has  been 
thought  best  to  reserve  for  the  present  the  balance  of  over 
^800  now  on  hand." 

The  following  members  of  the  Class  then  sat  down  to 
dinner,  Pres.  Munn  presiding  :  —  Bedell,  Blydenburgh, 
Bradford,  Brant,  Brown,  Butler,  Cauldwell,  Coursen,  Coyle, 
Craven,  Danforth,  Davis,  Dufifield,  Dunn,  P'arr,  Gledhill, 
Hudnut,    Ingham,    Jackson,    Landon,  Loney,    Manierre, 

63 


McDermont,  Monroe,  Moore,  Pitney,  Robbins,  W.  A. 
Robinson,  Rodgers,  Schmidt,  Schneideman,  A.  Scribnei\ 
Sinclair,  Small,  Townsend,  Van  Alen,  Vlymen,  H.  V/arren, 
T.  D.  Warren,  Wills. 

After  dinner  speeches  of  an  informal  character  were 
made  by  Dunn,  "Our  Alma  Mater";  Loney,  McDermont 
and  Bradford,  "Football";  Duffield,  "Base  Ball";  Robin- 
son (assisted  by  Moore)  "Our  Sister  Colleges";  and 
various  remarks  still  more  informal  by  Brown,  Davis, 
Jackson,  Landon,  Rodgers,  Small,  H.  Warren  and  T.  D. 
Warren.  Robinson  was  elected  to  speak  for  the  Class  at 
the  Alumni  Dinner  on  Tuesday,  and  Farr  reported  pro- 
gress for  the  Class  Boy. 

After  a  vote  of  thanks  to  the  Dinner  Committee  the 
Class  started  on  the  time-honored  walk  round  the  Triangle 
and  the  festive  proceedings  were  brought  to  a  fitting  close 
about  the  Cannon  by  the  Class  cheering  everything  in 
general  and  itself  in  particular.  It  may  be  remarked  in 
conclusion  that  nothing  occurred  to  damage  the  Class's 
reputation  for  decency  and  good  order.

"THE    CLASS     OF     1881     COLLECTION     OF     CASTS" 

To  the  Members  of  the  Class  of  i88i: 

In  sending  you  a  brief  sketch  of  the  collection  of 
casts  which  you  have  so  generously  presented  to  the  Col- 
lege, I  cannot  help  congratulating  you  on  having  selected 
so  wisely  a  Memorial,  which  will  not  only  add  to  the 
attractions  of  the  Art  Museum  but  will  continue  to  exer- 
cise an  educating  and  refining  influence  over  the  whole 
College.  Education  in  general  consists  very  largely  in 
acquainting  ourselves  with  the  past,  and  how  can  we  do 
this  to  better  purpose  than  by  being  brought  face  to  face 
with  its  monuments  !  As  these  are  scattered  in  distant 
lands,  it  is  very  fortunate  that  reproductions  by  casts  and 
photographs  enable  us  to  gather  together  collections  of 
casts,  which  in  some  ways  are  as  valuable  as  the  originals 
themselves.  Monuments  of  sculpture  preserve  to  us  in 
enduring  material  vivid  impressions  of  the  religious, 
political  and  dramatic  life  of  historic  peoples.  We  may 
also  trace  in  them  the  growth  of  the  sense  of  form  and  pro- 
portion as  well  as  the  technical  mastery  of  material  diffi- 
culties. 

If  you  were  unable  to  be  present  at  the  Memorial 
exercises  last  Commencement,  let  me  lead  you  in  imagi- 
nation to  the  Art  Museum  and  show  you  the  collection. 
The  building  itself  in  its  unfinished  condition  is  a  charm- 

65 


ing  structure,  preparing  us  by  its  external  beauty  and  its 
brightness  within  to  open  our  eyes  to  its  contents.  As  we 
enter  the  main  hall  we  have  already  a  suggestion  of  the 
cast  collection  in  the  three  cases  which  contain  grim 
Egyptian  heads,  Christian  statues  and  Greek  and  Roman 
statuettes.  Isis  and  Osiris  guard  the  passage  to  the  stair- 
way, on  the  walls  of  which  are  reliefs  from  Egyptian  tombs 
and  Assyrian  and  Persian  palaces.  The  Egyptian  reliefs 
tell  us  of  the  occupations  of  departed  souls,  who  are 
engaged  in  ploughing  fields  or  driving  donkeys  or  catch- 
ing birds  or  in  some  pursuit  similar  to  that  which  occupied 
their  energies  while  living  on  the  earth.  The  Egyptian 
tomb  was  the  eternal  home  and  here  the  sculptor's  chisel 
was  engaged  in  carving  out  the  field  of  existence  for  the 
eternal  spirit.  The  Assyrian  and  Persian  reliefs  adorned 
palaces  and  at  the  same  time  recorded  the  military  glory  of 
their  royal  occupants. 

As  we  reach  the  floor  below  we  are  in  a  hallway, 
whose  dim  religious  light  makes  it  an  appropriate  place 
for  Christian  sculpture.  Especially  is  this  true  for  the 
tombs  of  Bishop  Evrard  and  of  the  Count  of  Artois,  whose 
recumbent  figures  lie  as  if  in  eternal  sleep.  Here  also  the 
sculptures  from  four  Romanesque  churches  are  seen  in  their 
proper  light.  An  excellent  example  of  the  sculpture  of  this 
period  is  seen  in  the  photograph  (opposite  p.  65)  which  shows 
the  group  of  the  Virgin  and  Child  from  the  Porte  St.  Anne 
of  the  Cathedral  Notre  Dame  of  Paris.  The  examples  of 
Christian  sculpture  are  not  many  in  number,  but  have  been 
selected  to  represent  the  characteristic  features  of  Roman- 
esque and  Gothic  sculpture  in  Italy,  France  and  Germany, 
during  the  XII,  XIII  and  XIV  centuries.  The  earlier 
centuries  of  Christian  and  Byzantine  Sculpture  may  be 
studied  in  the  casts  of  ivories  in  the  room  above. 

G6 


In  the  two  large  rooms  of  the  basement  we  may  trace 
the  history  of  Greek  sculpture  through  its  various  stages. 
Here  is  the  strange  architectural  relief  from  the  oldest 
Greek  temple  in  Sicily,  representing  Perseus  cutting  off 
the  head  of  Medusa.  The  figures  are  clumsy  and  ill-pro- 
portioned, but  the  sculptor's  effort  is  in  the  right  direction 
and  promises  better  things.  The  Strangford  Apollo  shows 
a  more  advanced  stage  of  art,  but  is  stiff  and  awkward. 
Other  pieces  have  been  selected  to  show  local  differences 
of  style.  The  very  rapid  development  of  Greek  sculpture 
is  seen  in  the  succeeding  sculptures,  which  represent  the 
work  of  Myron  and  Pheidias,  Polykleitos,  Skopas  and 
Praxiteles.  The  end  of  one  room  is  given  up  to  the  works 
of  Pheidias.  Here  we  may  see  two  noble  figures  from  the 
Eastern  pediment  of  the  Parthenon,  where  Pheidias  had 
enshrined  his  conception  of  the  Birth  of  Athena  (opposite 
p.  55).  Few  and  fragmentary  are  the  original  remains, 
but  your  imagination  of  the  group  may  be  helped  by  a 
study  of  the  Madrid  puteal  near  by.  Upon  the  walls  are 
casts  of  two  Parthenon  metopes  and  the  greater  part  of  the 
Eastern  frieze.  These  with  the  Doryphoros  of  Polykleitos 
and  a  Caryatid  from  the  Erechtheion  and  three  beautiful 
sepulchral  slabs  bring  before  our  eyes  examples  of  the  heroic 
style  of  the  fifth  century.  The  gracefulness  and  human- 
itarianism  of  the  fourth  century  may  be  felt  in  the  corner 
where  we  have  placed  the  Venus  of  Melos,  the  Hermes  of 
Praxiteles  and  the  Apollo  Sauroctonos.  Here  we  find 
also  the  perfection  of  technical  accomplishment. 

The  further  room  takes  us  into  a  new  school  of  Greek 
Art,  that  of  Pergamon  and  the  later  Greek  artists.  The 
most  impressive  work  of  their  school,  the  giant  frieze  from 
the  great  altar  of  Pergamon,  is  here  represented  by  the 
Athena  group  and  by  single  figures  of  Zeus,  Apollo  and  of 

67 


the  Giant  on  the  Steps  (Frontispiece).  The  small  frieze 
from  the  same  altar  is  represented  by  the  group  of  Herakles 
and  the  infant  Telephos,  These  sculptures  are  especially 
interesting  from  the  vigor  of  their  execution  and  from  the 
types  which  they  seem  to  have  established.  In  the  strug- 
gling giant  in  the  Athena  group  we  see  a  figure  which  may 
have  suggested  the  Laocoon,  and  in  the  Apollo  we  seem  to 
see  a  prototype  of  the  Apollo  Belvidere.  So  in  the  Herakles 
we  see  what  was  in  the  mind  of  Glaukon  of  Athens,  when 
he  produced  the  Farnese  Herakles.  Another  figure  in  the 
same  frieze  explains  the  Torso  Belvidere. 

I  have  by  no  means  exhausted  the  contents  of  this  col- 
lection, having  only  briefly  noted  some  of  the  more  impor- 
tant pieces.  I  need  only  again  to  reassure  you  that  the 
collection  will  prove  of  real  value  to  the  department  of 
Art  and  Archaeology  and  express  on  behalf  of  the  College 
our  most  grateful  appreciation  of  your  generosity. 

Allan  Marquand.

QUESTIONS    IN    THE    CIRCULAR    OF    INQUIRY    SENT 
OUT    FOR    THE    DECENNIAL    RECORD 

1 .  Your  address  in  full — that  which  is  most  likely  to 
to  be  permanent. 

2.  Your  occupation,  business  or  profession — both  at 
present  and  whatever  you  have  been  engaged  in  since  leav- 
ing college. 

3 .  Are  you  married,  single  or  engaged  ?  If  married, 
give  the  date  and  place  of  ceremony,  and  the  maiden  name 
of  your  wife  ;  if  you  have  children,  give  their  names,  the 
date  of  birth,  and  the  names  of  those  living. 

4.  Have  you  filled  any  position  of  honor  or  trust? 
Written  a  book,  made  a  discovery,  or  done  anything  to 
make  your  Class  proud  of  you  ? 

5.  Give  any  information  you  may  have  about  class 
mates,  either    living    or   dead — anything    you  think  the 
Committee    is   not   likely  to    hear   of  directly,  new  ad- 
dresses, etc. 

6.  Do  you  intend  to  be  present  at  the  Decennial 
Reunion,  which  will  probably  be  held  in  Princeton,  Mon- 
day evening,  June  8th,  1891?
